Ana Ortiz

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, supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, addiction, and anger concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward, practical help for everyday problems.

Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful. Sessions focus on clear goals and honest conversation. She adapts the pace and topics to each person's needs and treats each visit as a shared effort toward better coping and daily functioning.

Ana draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor care. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered methods keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities and strengths.

She has a history of working with people facing physical trauma, brain injury, chronic pain, and domestic violence, as well as mood and anxiety disorders. Ana also addresses practical life strains such as parenting challenges, career transitions, and caregiver stress. That background informs a flexible, problem-solving approach.

In sessions she aims to build trust quickly and offer tools that fit into real life. The focus is on making steady, manageable changes rather than overnight fixes. People looking for clear, compassionate help with anger, grief, self-esteem, or coping with change may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Ana uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and trust. This approach helps when bothersome patterns repeat in relationships or when past hurts affect current reactions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and action-oriented, which can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If video is difficult, discussing quieter options or a brief phone check-in can help sessions fit into work breaks or caregiving schedules.
