01About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She has spent over a decade helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports clients facing addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and career or parenting challenges.
Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens first, learns what matters to each person, and then tailors conversations and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are warm and interactive, with an emphasis on respect and compassion. Ana draws on several approaches to shape treatment plans. She uses client-centered ideas to follow a person’s lead and cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Emotion-focused strategies and attachment ideas help when relationships, intimacy, or past wounds are central concerns. She has experience in rehabilitation counseling and advocacy as well as traditional therapy settings. That background informs her work with chronic pain, brain injury-related issues, and persistent health or caregiving stress.
Ana also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Ana commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioral techniques during online therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people shift patterns that cause distance or clinginess. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a client's history, current struggles, and goals and then suggest strategies to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and building rapport. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, coping reminders, or when someone prefers written communication.
