About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addictions, and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Ana’s background includes work as a rehab counselor and advocate, which shaped her practical approach to therapy. She has supported people coping with brain injury, chronic pain, and the effects of physical or emotional trauma. She also assists those dealing with mood challenges, bipolar symptoms, and grief.
Her way of working blends several therapeutic methods. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy guide how she looks at relational patterns and hard-to-name emotions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to address thoughts and behavior that get in the way of daily life.
In sessions she favors a straightforward, interactive style. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how emotions link to behavior, and small changes that can make daily life easier. Practical skills and clearer understanding of personal patterns are common targets.
Ana asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How Ana blends EFT and practical therapy online
Ana uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at how feelings and attachment patterns shape relationships and personal reactions. EFT focuses on naming emotions and understanding the patterns that keep people stuck, which can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early and present-day connection needs. That approach helps when abandonment, attachment issues, or fear of closeness affect choices and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy rounds this out by keeping the conversation focused on the client’s perspective and priorities in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts how she uses these approaches based on what a client brings to sessions.
