Ana Manrique

Ana Manrique is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, and anger. Ana works with clients to strengthen emotional skills and build a more balanced life.

She starts by listening and treating each person as the expert on their story. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. Ana emphasizes empathy and respect while helping clients identify strengths they already have.

Her approach mixes evidence-based tools and supportive conversation. She uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices to help people manage thoughts and emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when clients want clear, goal-oriented steps.

Ana tailors sessions to what each person needs. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, learning to set boundaries, or developing routines that reduce urges and cravings. She also helps people handle grief, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and career pressures.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Ana asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started, and then schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Ana frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ana will work together with the client to see which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between visits.

Session format options are not listed here, so please confirm current online session choices before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or skills work from their everyday environment while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
