About Anastasia
Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or life direction. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.
Anastasia focuses on practical conversation and collaborative planning. Sessions aim to identify what matters now and what small steps could make things feel different. She uses straightforward techniques to manage anxiety, regulate mood, and rebuild motivation so people can try new options without feeling overwhelmed.
Her approach draws from client-centered work that keeps the person’s goals at the center, and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with grounding and Motivational Interviewing to clarify motivation for change.
She pays attention to how culture, identity, and life circumstances shape stress and coping. That can include addressing shame, communication problems, attachment concerns, or experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Anastasia also supports people coping with grief, addictions, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable change rather than quick fixes. People leave with concrete tools, a plan for next steps, and a clearer sense of what to try between sessions. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set up an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with the client's concerns and move at a pace they find manageable, useful when someone is rethinking work, relationships, or life direction.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in session offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and crisis moments. It teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that people can practice between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them and can reduce reactivity to stress.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Anastasia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made or new needs appear.
