Ivelisse Concepcion, LCSW

Ivelisse Concepcion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and relationship struggles. She has a long history supporting parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, and coping with major life changes. She also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues as part of her broader practice.

She draws on 25 years of experience in community mental health settings and clinical roles. Early work was with children and youth in crisis services, and more recent years have included adult work and couples work. That range informs how she approaches complex family and behavior concerns.

Her style is practical and person-focused. She meets people where they are, builds on strengths, and helps identify and remove barriers to progress. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings and straightforward ways to track change.

Ivelisse uses a mix of methods based on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools help with mood and anxiety. Solution-Focused techniques aim to set short-term goals. Trauma-informed approaches guide work with past wounds.

She offers services in English and Spanish and brings a long-standing commitment to community-based care. Clients who value direct, strengths-based work and clear coping strategies may find her approach a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adjusting to each person’s needs. It emphasizes empathy, validation, and helping people set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for relationship stress, parenting concerns, and building self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and panic symptoms by teaching skills people can use between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps. It helps clients identify immediate goals and try practical changes quickly, which can be helpful for coping with life transitions and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work saves travel time and makes scheduling easier, while others prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when time or bandwidth is limited. The therapist will discuss what works best and adapt sessions to practical needs.
