About Ana

Ana Garcia is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges by combining practical skills and a supportive therapeutic stance.

Background and approach

Ana emphasizes collaboration, treating each person as the expert of their own story while offering tools to navigate difficult transitions and regain a sense of direction. Her work draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and client-centered approaches to tailor strategies to each person’s needs.

Ana attends to patterns that can underlie emotional pain, including attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication difficulties, and issues that arise around caregiving, divorce, or infidelity. She also addresses panic symptoms, loneliness, guilt, and the search for life purpose.

Ana aims to create a compassionate space that empowers clients to build strengths, try new coping skills, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care

Many of Ana’s sessions draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan reflects what is most helpful for the person in front of her.

Online therapy with Ana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy periods, while enabling work on practical skills, emotion regulation, and relationship patterns from wherever the client is located in Texas.
