About Ana

Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She sees people in English and Spanish and helps with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self esteem, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Ana lists life purpose among her focus areas and works with young adult issues as well.

Ana uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life steps rather than abstract theory.

In meetings she encourages clients to name specific problems and small goals. She offers tools for managing impulsivity, improving communication, and handling social anxiety. When needed, she helps people sort through family problems and body image concerns with clear strategies and practice exercises.

Ana emphasizes practical coping skills for daily life. That includes short exercises to reduce stress, ways to improve self-love, and methods to tackle attention and focus challenges. She also supports people working through decisions about work, relationships, or personal direction.

People who want Spanish language support can request sessions in Spanish. To begin, users select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approach translates to online work

Ana practices Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways that work well online. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the person, helping them clarify priorities and feelings. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage impulsivity, or improve mood.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. Ana discusses each person's goals and preferences, and together they decide whether to use more listening and reflection, more CBT exercises, or a mix. That decision can shift over time as needs change.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current choices before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it easier to meet after work. Ana frames online sessions around practical skills and homework that fit into everyday life, so the work continues between meetings.
