Ana Crixell, LPC

Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and relationship struggles. She focuses on clear skills people can use right away. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Ana concentrates on worries like anxiety, depression, anger, and the effects of trauma and grief. She also helps with parenting stress, workplace pressure, and career concerns. People come to her for help with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Her work emphasizes stronger communication and healthier patterns in close relationships. She helps people learn tools to handle interpersonal tension and family problems. When relationships are strained, she draws on methods that focus on interaction and practical change.

Ana blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and build coping routines that fit their lives. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Over a ten year career she has supported people through big life changes and everyday stressors. Her style is compassionate and direct. The aim is to leave each session with at least one concrete step to try before the next meeting.

Approaches that translate to online care

Ana uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical new responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and changing everyday behaviors.

She also uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where the client's priorities guide each session. That approach supports exploring emotions and building trust at a pace that feels right for the person.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to set goals and pick methods that fit needs and preferences. Methods may be adjusted as progress is made so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in style, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or other obligations while keeping the focus on practical skill-building.
