Ivelisse Concepcion, LCSW

Ivelisse Concepcion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports parents, people coping with grief or anger, and those facing life changes or challenges related to ADHD and mood disorders.

She draws on 25 years in mental health work. Early in her career she worked on a mobile crisis team for children and youth. Over time she expanded into work with adults and has experience supporting caregivers and people dealing with chronic illness or cancer-related worries.

Ivelisse aims to meet clients where they are and build on strengths. Sessions focus on identifying barriers, practicing new coping skills, and finding small, doable steps forward. She uses a mix of approaches chosen with each person in mind rather than one fixed method.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered care, solution-focused ideas, and trauma-focused work are part of the tools she commonly uses. Those approaches help with changing unhelpful thinking patterns, clarifying goals, and processing difficult experiences.

She offers services in English and Spanish. Her long experience in community and clinical settings shapes a practical style that emphasizes skills people can use between sessions.

People who are looking for steady, experienced support for mood, behavior, or trauma-related concerns may find her approach straightforward and skills-focused.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges by practicing new thinking and coping skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what is working and what the person needs most.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full sessions and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging makes brief progress notes and reminders easy. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to keep momentum between appointments.
