About Cira
Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW-accredited social worker with seven years of experience in mental health. She is also a qualified psychotherapist and registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.

Cira uses a range of practical approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She often helps clients notice how emotions affect their choices. She offers straightforward strategies for managing strong feelings and repeated patterns that cause distress.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment experiences. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support coping skills and behaviour change. Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas guide how she listens and responds.
Cira runs Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction groups as a lead facilitator. Those programs focus on attention and emotional skills across eight weekly sessions. She integrates mindfulness practices into individual work where helpful.
People come to Cira for help with issues such as caregiver stress, multicultural and immigration concerns, loneliness, and problems with impulsivity or obsessive behaviours. She also supports people facing grief, guilt, shame and struggles with life purpose or midlife transitions.

Approaches used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape interactions and personal patterns. It helps people name feelings that are hard to describe and examine how those feelings influence behaviour and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports values-based action, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress that keeps people from living the life they want.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early and current connection patterns and how they affect emotional responses. It can be helpful for people dealing with long-standing patterns of loneliness, mistrust or difficulty asking for support.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined to suit the person's needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are set by the clinician. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. These practical benefits help people sustain regular sessions while juggling work, caregiving and other commitments.
