About Ana
Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Ana believes people bring strengths to therapy and that taking the first step toward change takes courage. She aims to support and empower clients as they work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions center on what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and acceptance and commitment strategies to help people move forward despite difficult feelings.
Ana also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based methods to build emotional awareness and self-compassion. She encourages practical skills people can try between sessions, such as small behavioral experiments and brief mindfulness practices. These steps are offered in plain language and set at a realistic pace.
In conversations about relationships and codependency, she helps people identify patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed or responsible for others' emotions. She guides clearer communication and healthier boundaries so daily life feels more manageable.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who are ready to begin can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How Ana’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce panic symptoms and improve daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals, which helps build confidence and a stronger sense of self.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into life. If you need a shorter check-in during a busy day or want to avoid travel time, that can be arranged depending on session options. Please confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. The focus remains practical: skills to try between meetings, clearer communication strategies, and steady steps toward daily improvement.
