About Ana
Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Ana communicates in both English and Spanish and focuses on concrete problems people bring to sessions.
Her approach begins with listening to the person's story and spotting strengths they can use. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered approaches to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer next steps rather than abstract ideas.
Ana often helps people sort through attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, problems with communication, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, guilt, shame, and panic attacks. Life purpose is one of the topics she addresses when people feel unsure about what comes next.
Sessions include exploring what matters now, practicing small behavior changes, and trying short exercises to calm anxiety or shift unhelpful thinking. She draws on mindfulness practices to ground moments of intense emotion and psychodynamic ideas to notice how past patterns show up in present choices.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations. Ana asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps plan concrete steps clients can try between sessions. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Ana uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Ana often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT works on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing specific behavior changes to reduce anxiety and shift mood.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness methods to keep work grounded in what the person notices and prefers. Client-centered work prioritizes listening and reflecting so clients shape the goals. Mindfulness exercises help with immediate stress and panic by bringing attention to the present moment and simple breathing or grounding practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on how a client responds and what they want to achieve.
