About Ana
Ana Crixell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and ADHD. She focuses on building practical skills for clearer communication and stronger self-worth. Ana aims to make therapy feel direct and useful for everyday struggles.
She draws on client-centered work to make sessions collaborative and respectful. That means the person's goals guide each meeting and the therapist listens closely to what matters most.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change day-to-day behavior. Ana also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed. Solution-focused techniques are woven in to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.
The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship patterns and communication skills for partners. Across ten years of practice she has supported people through grief, trauma, workplace stress, parenting strain, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts. Her approach is practical and grounded in real-world steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Ana works with individuals who want a collaborative, skills-based path forward and who appreciate a calm, direct style.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Ana uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's priorities, offering attentive listening and collaborative planning. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.
The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Figuring out the right method is a team effort that takes into account current needs, personal goals, and day-to-day routines.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for communication skills work, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging is handy for brief check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent during jobs, parenting duties, or when travel is required.
