About Ana

Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she meets clients where they are and adapts her style to each person’s needs and cultural context. Her work emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings, build self-awareness, and practice concrete skills for managing impulsivity, improving communication, and addressing body image or self-esteem concerns.

Ana supports clients coping with relationship or parenting stress, life transitions, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey toward greater empowerment and practical improvement across daily life.

Ana encourages those considering help to take the first step and notes the courage involved in beginning therapy. Her approach blends empathy with evidence-informed tools so clients can move forward with renewed clarity and strategies for lasting change.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online



Ana integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into online work to address both emotional processing and practical skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients guide the focus and feel heard while exploring feelings and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, stress, impulsivity, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ana treats it as a collaborative effort. She partners with clients to clarify goals, test different strategies, and adjust techniques based on what feels most effective for each person’s situation and preferences. This flexibility helps tailor care to present concerns and long-term aims.

Online therapy with Ana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and convenience. These formats allow clients to connect from home or other locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work between meetings with written check-ins or messaging when appropriate. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain progress over time.
