About Ana
Ana Manrique is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction-related difficulties, and relationship concerns. Ana also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people dealing with stress, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Ana's approach centers on practical conversation and clear goals. She listens to what is happening in daily life and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and simple mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values and take small consistent steps toward them. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she builds the working relationship, with Motivational Interviewing used when people want to make changes but feel ambivalent. These methods are described in everyday terms during sessions so people can try them between meetings.
Ana draws on examples from people she has worked with to suggest concrete strategies for setting boundaries, managing urges, or coping with loss. She explains options plainly and checks in about what feels doable. People leave sessions with specific ideas to practice and short-term actions to test.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To start, prospective clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing committed steps that match personal priorities, which can help with codependency and career or relationship decisions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep people stuck and to practice different behaviors. CBT gives concrete exercises to try between sessions, such as testing assumptions or changing step-by-step routines. Client-Centered elements shape how she listens and checks in about what feels useful for each person.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Ana discusses options and adapts methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. She will help decide which techniques to emphasize and will review progress regularly.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy week, avoid travel time, or use phone rather than video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while testing new habits in day-to-day life.
