About Ana
Ana Budeguer is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Ana also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.
Born in Argentina and living in the U.S. for over 20 years, she has substantial experience supporting immigrant clients and understands the stresses of adjusting to a new country. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she practices from the perspective of someone familiar with cross-cultural transition.
Her way of working is direct and practical. She listens for patterns in relationships and behavior. Then she uses conversations and focused techniques to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different responses. Expect clear, concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Ana draws on several approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover long-standing patterns from past relationships. Somatic and trauma-focused methods attend to how stress shows up in the body after difficult events.
People come to her when they feel unsure what comes next after divorce, loss, moves, or work changes. She asks specific questions, helps set realistic short-term goals, and collaborates on practical next steps to test new ways of coping and relating.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to unhelpful actions and then practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing communication problems, impulsivity, and upsetting thought patterns.She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring relational patterns that started earlier in life. This approach helps when attachment issues, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship conflicts keep reappearing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss which methods seem most useful and adapt them based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps identify manageable steps to try between sessions.
The practical benefits of using online options include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, shortening travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. The therapist's session formats should be confirmed before booking, so please check the current options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain momentum while making changes in everyday life.
