Ana also incorporates mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the situation, for example to increase present-moment awareness or to look at long-running relationship patterns. She explains options and helps clients choose strategies that feel manageable.

How Ana Uses Different Approaches Online
Ana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. ACT can be useful for addressing guilt, shame, or feeling stuck by focusing on actions that match personal values rather than getting caught in unhelpful thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments that people can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Client-Centered work informs how sessions are paced and led, with the client’s perspective guiding the topics and tempo. This helps keep conversations practical and focused on what the person wants to address first.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then recommend strategies to try. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
