About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She has worked as a rehab counselor, advocate, and therapist and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and substance issues.
Ana commonly supports people facing career and vocational challenges, caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, grief, intimacy-related problems, and problems with communication and control.
Her way of working combines approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed ideas, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. Ana uses these methods to help people learn new ways to handle upsetting thoughts, stronger emotional responses, or relationship patterns that keep repeating.
She has particular experience supporting those recovering from physical trauma or emotional abuse and people navigating major life changes. In sessions she pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and to the skills someone can use day to day.
Ana speaks English and Spanish and draws on her background in rehabilitation and advocacy when addressing problems that cross mental health and practical life needs. To start, she asks about immediate concerns and then shapes the work around what the person wants to change.
How Ana’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice and change patterns in relationships. It can be useful for intimacy problems, abandonment fears, and repeating relationship cycles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking that get in the way of work or school.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss your goals and preferences and together you can try methods that fit your needs. The plan can change as you learn what helps most, and she will explain why particular techniques are suggested.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around study, shifts at work, or caregiving by avoiding travel time and using shorter check-ins on busy days. Other practical benefits include being able to schedule around class schedules and keeping therapy consistent during life transitions.
