About Annai

Annai Burrola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on three years of clinical practice and a decade of community support experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She centers a trauma-informed, bilingual and bicultural stance, offering therapy in both English and Spanish while emphasizing respect for sexual and relationship diversity, including ALGBTQ2+ identities, polyamory, consensual nonmonogamy, and neurodiversity. Annai frames the work as collaborative and nonjudgmental, inviting clients to explore thoughts and feelings in a supportive setting.

Her approach integrates attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, client-centered principles, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help clients address depression, grief, intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions. Annai also attends to areas such as parenting, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of family and identity-related issues.

She encourages taking the first step toward care and aims to create an accepting environment where clients feel heard and empowered to pursue their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Annai uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and patterns, helping clients strengthen connection styles and address relational wounds. She also employs emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to identify core emotions and restructure interaction patterns that contribute to relationship distress, which can assist with intimacy and communication issues. Client-centered therapy is another core element of her practice, emphasizing empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients can steer the pace and focus of their work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Annai partners with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and personally tailored rather than prescriptive.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions across differing schedules and life demands while keeping continuity of care. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely to apply attachment, EFT, and client-centered tools in ways that fit everyday life and promote steady progress.
