About Anastasia
Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and challenges with motivation. She writes and listens in a plain, respectful way. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or busy person.
With nine years of practice in California, Anastasia focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She works collaboratively to shape goals and tailor conversations to each persons needs. That can mean short-term problem solving or a longer conversation about life direction.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that put the person's experience first. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Elements of mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available when they fit the goals.
Anastasia is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar mood concerns, addiction, grief, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship patterns like attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
Her style is respectful and sensitive. She will explain options and invite feedback so the plan stays relevant. To begin, she asks people to identify what matters most to them and then designs steps that fit daily life.

How Anastasia's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and make choices that match their own values. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to change, which is useful for addiction, low motivation, and goal setting.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, used selectively, brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Those skills can include techniques for grounding, emotion regulation, and clearer communication when strong feelings arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anastasia will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She will explain options and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
