About Ana

Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings 14 years of clinical and advocacy experience to her work.

Background and approach

She has a background that includes roles as a rehab counselor and therapist, and she has supported people facing a broad range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, chronic pain, relationship and parenting difficulties, career and vocational concerns, and addictions.

Ana also lists ADHD among her focus areas and works with many related issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress. Her style blends warmth with structure: conversations are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on evidence-based methods to shape a personalized plan.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build practical skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate different language preferences.

Ana frames therapy as a partnership that honors courage and invites change. Prospective clients can expect an interactive approach that balances problem-solving techniques with an understanding of underlying patterns and relationships, all adapted to individual goals and life circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships affect feelings and behavior, helping people explore patterns of connection, trust, and security to improve emotional bonds and interpersonal functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional experience and expression to strengthen relationships and process difficult feelings, which can be useful for intimacy concerns, grief, and attachment wounds.

Choosing the best approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to clarify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt methods over time so treatment aligns with evolving needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for reflecting, practicing skills, or staying connected between meetings.
