About Cira
Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW accredited social worker with seven years' experience in mental health. She is a qualified psychotherapist and registered counsellor (ACA). She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger and depression, and other overlapping struggles.
Cira focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and reduce everyday overwhelm. Sessions often look at breathing and grounding skills, pacing difficult conversations, and building small routines that make a day feel less chaotic. She also helps people who face isolation, identity questions, immigration pressures and cultural adjustment.
Her background includes group work teaching an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. That experience informs how she teaches attention and emotion skills in one-to-one meetings. She mixes talking, simple exercises and homework people can try between sessions.
Cira uses several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Attachment-Based work. She adapts these methods to what an individual needs rather than sticking to a single technique.
She offers sessions in English and Spanish and works from an Australia-based practice. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details through the site. To start, complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Online sessions can include short exercises and practical homework someone can do between meetings to change patterns of thinking and behaviour.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps despite discomfort. Online work with ACT can centre on committed actions, simple mindfulness practices and checking progress week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact options before booking. When offered, online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around study or work, cut out travel time and fit short check-ins into a busy day. Some people prefer audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is low or a shorter session is needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule to make sessions fit your routine.
