About Ana

Ana Rincon is a licensed clinical social worker in California who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice to help clients address stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With 17 years of professional experience, she blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, individualized approach to support people navigating grief, life transitions, and motivation challenges. She pays close attention to each person’s unique circumstances and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs.

Ana also focuses on caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose, helping clients explore practical strategies and new perspectives to manage day-to-day challenges. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where taking the first step toward therapy is recognized as an important act of courage.

Bringing CBT to online care for stress and life changes

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Through practical exercises and collaborative goal-setting, this approach helps people manage anxiety, low mood, and patterns that contribute to stress and reduced motivation.

Sessions emphasize problem-solving and skill-building tailored to real-life situations, which can be useful for grief processing, improving self-esteem, and coping with caregiving demands. Ana adapts CBT techniques to individual circumstances to make strategies applicable in daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and concerns, then adjust methods as needed so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow therapeutic work to continue even when in-person visits are difficult.
