Ana Budeguer, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Ana

Ana Budeguer is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people navigate relationship and family problems. She supports those coping with trauma, grief, and major life changes. Ana uses calm, direct conversation to identify immediate concerns and practical next steps.

She brings 17 years of professional experience to sessions. Born and raised in Argentina, she has lived in the United States for over 20 years. That background informs her understanding of immigration challenges and the stress of adapting to a new country.

Background and approach

In the therapy room she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space. Conversations focus on understanding what feels most painful or stuck. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotions, and helps clients notice how past experiences affect current choices.

Ana draws from a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper relationship patterns and somatic practices to address how the body holds stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Ana emphasizes practical, steady steps toward clearer communication and more manageable daily routines. She supports people who want to feel more grounded and connected to others.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Ana commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and somatic therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, mood shifts, relationship reactions, and everyday coping skills. Somatic therapy pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and uses breathing, grounding, and body-based awareness to reduce physical tension and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and comfort level. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so clients feel involved and heard.

Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a steady course of work toward clearer communication and better coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.

Somatic Therapy

Works with what the body is doing - tension, breath, restlessness - as much as with what you say about it. Guided attention to physical sensation can be done from your own space.
