How Ana applies ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions aligned with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where avoidance is a problem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises such as thought records, activity scheduling, and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve routines.
Client-Centered Therapy provides a conversational, reflective space where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them feel heard. This approach supports work on identity, relationship concerns, and decisions about life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches across sessions and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical preferences during the first meeting to set a workable routine that fits everyday life.
