About Annai
Annai Burrola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings three years of clinical experience and a decade of community support to her work. She offers a calm, direct presence and speaks both English and Spanish. Annai describes therapy as a first brave step and aims to make that step feel manageable.
She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Annai affirms diverse identities and relationship styles, including LGBTQ and consensual nonmonogamy, and approaches each person without judgment. Her approach blends attachment-based and client-centered work with emotionally-focused and mindfulness ideas. Sessions often center on what matters most to the client and build skills for handling strong emotions.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck. Annai aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. She takes a trauma-informed stance and attends to cultural background and life experience in the work.
Conversations are practical and aimed at small, workable steps that fit a person's daily life. She practices in New Mexico as an LCSW. People who prefer Spanish or English can choose the language they use in sessions.
The therapist’s perspective is collaborative and strengths-based, focused on helping people find clearer footing amid difficult moments.
Approach-driven care through online sessions
Annai draws on attachment-based therapy to help people understand how early bonds shape current relationships and responses to stress. That approach can help when connection patterns cause pain or repeated conflict. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead so goals come from what matters to them. Emotionally-focused ideas are used to name and process strong feelings so relationships and self-understanding can shift.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annai collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan together as the work unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video can support deeper conversation and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text-based messaging can fit a busy day or ongoing brief check-ins. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping a regular rhythm of support.
