About Anastasia
Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a licensed clinical social worker who works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or mood changes. She is based in California and offers a calm, respectful approach for those wanting clearer coping strategies. Anastasia writes short, direct plans together with each person she sees. She frames therapy as a practical partnership rather than a lecture.
Anastasia draws on nine years of experience to help people manage depression, bipolar symptoms, and panic disorder or panic attacks. She also supports clients dealing with grief, addictions, career transitions, and life changes. Her work often addresses relationship patterns like attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems.
In sessions she focuses on what is useful in the moment. She uses client-centered conversation to understand each person's priorities. Then she brings in skills from mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when stress or intense emotions are getting in the way of daily life.
Anastasia also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to set small, workable goals. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps. Many clients find this approach helpful for building steady progress and confidence.
Her style is straightforward, gentle, and goal-oriented. Anastasia emphasizes respect and cultural sensitivity and shapes the plan to fit each person's background and needs. To begin, she asks a few questions to learn what matters most and then co-creates the first steps toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals, then shaping sessions around those priorities to make progress that feels relevant. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, distress, and impulsive reactions - useful when panic or sudden anxiety interrupts daily life. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and builds simple habits for reducing reactivity and improving emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anastasia will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of techniques fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made, so the therapy evolves to match what actually helps.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness and DBT skills between sessions and bring those experiences back into conversation with the therapist.
