About Ana

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience, Ana Crixell helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She focuses on clearer communication, building coping skills, and practical strategies for everyday challenges. Sessions are delivered in English and are aimed at individuals rather than couples or families as a unit.

Ana uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Those combined approaches are often used when clients bring anxiety, low self-esteem, or trouble handling anger.

Her work includes helping people navigate parenting challenges, workplace problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and major changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also addresses attention-related struggles like ADHD and offers concrete communication tools for conflicts at home or work.

Ana emphasizes practical problem solving alongside emotional processing. She introduces mindfulness practices to help with moment-to-moment stress and uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. The Gottman Method informs her work with relationship dynamics and communication skills training.

People can expect a direct, collaborative style that centers their goals. Ana asks about current challenges, helps set measurable steps, and adjusts methods as progress is made. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online sessions

Ana commonly uses client-centered work to focus sessions on the client's priorities. That approach centers the client’s experience, encourages open conversation, and helps identify what matters most in daily life. It is useful for issues like stress, self-esteem and coping with change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing what worked. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and workplace stress.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Ana will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those needs. She checks in and adjusts techniques as progress or obstacles appear, so the plan can shift over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals normally adapt exercises and homework to work in remote sessions, keeping focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
