Ivelisse Concepcion, LCSW

Ivelisse Concepcion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship and family problems, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.

She began working in mental health in 1995 on a children’s mobile crisis team and later completed a Master of Social Work at New York University. For many years she worked primarily with children and youth; in the past decade she has shifted toward adult work and, more recently, some couples work. Her background includes long-term roles in community-based programs across New York.

Ivelisse uses an ecological, client-centered approach. She aims to recognize strengths, identify barriers, and help people take practical steps to manage emotions and daily challenges. She draws on several methods to match what each person needs rather than following one fixed model.

Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques alongside trauma-focused methods. In practice she offers structured skills work for symptoms like anxiety and mood problems, and problem-solving steps for parenting and relationship concerns. She also uses approaches to address grief, anger, and impulsivity.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. She has extensive experience supporting people affected by childhood diagnoses, mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and chronic health or caregiving stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
