About Cira
Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW-accredited social worker with seven years of experience in mental health. She is a psychotherapist and registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). Cira works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger and depression.
Cira helps people notice what matters to them now and to make small, practical shifts. Sessions often focus on managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing compulsive or impulsive behaviours. She also supports clients dealing with grief, low self-esteem, addiction-related challenges and caregiver stress.
Her clinical practice draws on evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She uses these methods to help people recognise unhelpful patterns, practise new responses and build steadier coping skills. Cira also brings elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Cira leads Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction groups that run for eight weeks and teach attentional and emotional skills. Group work is structured and practice-focused, with skills people can use between meetings. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Australia.
People who come to Cira can expect clear, practical conversations. She focuses on what can change now and on strategies that fit everyday life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How Cira uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood. This approach is practical for anxiety, depression and obsessive patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties. Cira will talk with each person about which approaches fit best and adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. Finding the right approach is collaborative and may change over several sessions.
Please confirm which online session formats are offered before booking. The therapist’s clinical approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on concrete skills, behavioural experiments and mindful practices that can be practised between sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Appropriately qualified therapists can use video or phone options where available, and the therapist will help decide what format suits practical circumstances and therapy goals.
