Background and approach

She also uses acceptance and mindfulness tools to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Sessions are collaborative. Ana views each person as the expert on their own life and uses that perspective to shape goals.

She helps people break big problems into small, doable steps and checks in on progress along the way. Her background includes nearly a decade supporting people through grief, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Ana pays attention to how life events and past wounds show up in daily behavior and relationships. People who choose Ana can expect clear, simple tools, gentle encouragement, and steady focus on what matters most to them. She aims to help people find balance and practical ways to manage stress and move forward.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online care

Ana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana collaborates with each person to select methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging help people keep momentum between sessions and share updates in writing.
