About Ana

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience, Ana Budeguer helps people address relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and has experience supporting people who have immigrated to the United States. Ana was born in Argentina and has over two decades of living experience in the U.S., which she uses to inform her work with clients facing cultural adjustment and immigration-related stress.

Ana combines several therapeutic methods to match what a person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. She also incorporates somatic and trauma-focused techniques when the body holds stress or traumatic memories.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Ana helps people notice habits that keep problems going and then tries new ways of responding. She talks through relationship issues like communication breakdown, infidelity, jealousy, and separation. She also addresses abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and body image worries.

Her approach is direct and collaborative. Ana asks questions, listens for what matters most, and suggests exercises people can use between sessions. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what is working.

People who want to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Ana uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted; services are provided in Florida.

How her approaches shape online work

When used in therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and coping after loss.

Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help people understand repetitive reactions in relationships and long-standing emotional responses.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Some methods, like somatic techniques, may include simple movement or grounding tasks you can do in the session, while talk-focused approaches may be used for problem solving and reflection.
