About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She has a background as a rehab counselor and advocate and has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. She works in both English and Spanish.
Her work often centers on stress, family concerns, addictions, and issues around intimacy and codependency. She also addresses grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career setbacks, and chronic pain or illness. People bring a wide mix of concerns, and she commonly sees overlapping issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and control or communication struggles.
Ana uses a blend of approaches that includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she talks through thoughts and patterns, practices skills to manage emotions, and looks at relationship patterns that keep people stuck. She works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that fit their needs.
Her style is interactive and practical. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, skill practice for managing anxiety or cravings, and noticing how early attachment experiences shape current relationships. She also supports people coping with major life changes, bipolar symptoms, or compassion fatigue.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Ana draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people notice why they give too much or fear abandonment and then try different ways of relating.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening carefully and building a collaborative conversation. This approach helps clients lead the goals while the therapist reflects and supports what the client values.
CBT is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping such as substance use or avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client look at current needs, symptoms, and preferences and pick methods to try together. Plans can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a phone conversation when bandwidth is limited. Many people find this flexibility helps maintain steady progress alongside everyday responsibilities.
