About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience. She began her career as a rehab counselor and advocate and later expanded into therapy work. Ana focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and relationship struggles.
She speaks English and Spanish. Ana uses straightforward conversation to figure out what matters most to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
Background and approach
She adapts techniques from different approaches so therapy fits the client's life. People often seek her help for depression, grief, self-esteem, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Ana works with concerns connected to LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance use. Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Clients can expect thoughtful questions, practical strategies, and space to process difficult feelings.
The goal is to build skills that make daily life more manageable. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.
Online approaches that focus on connection and skills
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs and improve how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using active listening and empathy to help someone find their own solutions and feel understood.Ana also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors through practical exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and gives tools to handle symptoms between sessions.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone send thoughts between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
