She works in Texas and speaks both English and Spanish. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at making conversations feel straightforward and compassionate for busy parents and adults.

To start, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Ana aims to help people take manageable steps toward clearer thinking, calmer mood, and more satisfying daily life.

How Ana’s approaches work online

Ana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habitual patterns that interfere with daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking committed action toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. Client-Centered Therapy guides how sessions are paced, keeping the conversation focused on the person’s goals and experience.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ana will discuss options and tailor the mix of CBT, ACT, and client-centered methods to match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is part of early sessions and may shift over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when video is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and written coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
