She has worked as a rehab counselor, advocate, and therapist and supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and family concerns. She also addresses issues like grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse, and with clients who have chronic pain or brain injury. Ana draws on multiple ways of working to suit the person in front of her. She aims to keep sessions focused and practical so people can notice change between meetings.

She also uses client-centered listening to let people set the pace and priorities in sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of daily functioning.
In a session she will talk through specific problems, try short exercises, and suggest skills to practice between appointments. Discussions can include boundaries, communication, coping skills, and patterns that repeat across relationships. The therapist will work with the client's stated goals and check progress along the way.

How her approaches translate to online work
Ana uses attachment-based ideas to look at how childhood roles and expectations affect current relationships and emotional patterns. This approach helps when old family dynamics keep reappearing in adult life and the focus is on changing relational habits.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's agenda and pace. That means sessions often begin by asking what matters most now and following the client's lead to set goals and next steps.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. These tools are practical for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and patterns like compulsive behaviors or avoidance.
Choosing an approach is part of the work and she treats it as a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to attend from different locations. When methods like CBT or attachment-focused conversation are used, exercises and homework can be shared and practiced between meetings to build skills.
