About Ana

Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and parenting challenges in straightforward, practical ways.

She uses a calm, open style to create a place where clients can talk without judgment. Sessions focus on identifying what feels most urgent and finding small, usable steps forward.

Background and approach

Ana encourages clients to notice progress and practice new skills between meetings. Ana draws from client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build on their strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

These approaches are used to address issues like self-esteem, body image, communication problems, and social anxiety. Her work includes coping with life changes, clarifying life purpose, and managing impulsivity. Ana helps clients break big problems into manageable parts and develop practical routines.

She respects each person’s pace while offering clear tools and feedback. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and can be scheduled online. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are set according to availability.

Ana aims to support steady, realistic change through practical skills and steady encouragement.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and identify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort their thoughts and decide next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It teaches concrete skills to challenge negative thinking and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life or a changing schedule. Remote sessions allow continuity of care when travel or time constraints make in-person visits difficult, and they support regular follow-up and skill practice between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
