About Ingrid
Dr. Ingrid Nembhard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of practice experience. She is based in Florida and works with adults on relationship strain, family concerns, self-esteem, career setbacks, grief, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching for people facing compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
She uses a practical, solution-focused approach in sessions. Conversations center on identifying patterns that cause pain and testing new ways of responding. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different behaviors to see what helps.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Florida International University and a PsyD in Grief Counseling. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families on issues such as blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin conflicts.
Clients who bring life transitions, immigration stress, money worries, or the impact of cancer and long-term caregiving will find focused, goal-oriented sessions. She also addresses questions of meaning, forgiveness, and self-love that come up after loss or major change.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Expect structured conversations, skill practice between sessions, and periodic reviews of progress so goals can be adjusted. The emphasis is on what can change now and how to put those changes into day-to-day life.
CBT and goal-focused work delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters most to them. It supports issues like decision making, self-worth, and finding direction by centering the person's perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test alternative interpretations, and practice new habits that reduce distress. This approach is often used for relationship strain, grief-related thoughts, and coping with life changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck or ambivalent about change. It uses focused conversation to strengthen a person's own reasons for making a change, which can be useful for career shifts, financial choices, or caregiving decisions.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Approaches can be combined or adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about available formats and scheduling so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
