About Ana
Ana Parra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, addictions, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Ana has supported clients through trauma, grief, issues around self-esteem, workplace concerns, and parenting strains.
Her approach mixes practical and reflective work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to focus on skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps set small, doable goals. That might mean spotting stress triggers, trying a moment-to-moment skill, or practicing a different response to irritation. She often brings exercises and short homework people can use between sessions.
Ana’s background includes work with adolescents and adults across many concerns, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and eating or sleeping struggles. She combines problem-solving with space to name painful experiences like trauma or shame. The result is practical steps alongside discussion of deeper patterns.
People who want therapy in Spanish or English will find both options. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as central tools. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and pick actions that match their values, which can reduce getting stuck in anger or avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing changes in behavior, useful for stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience. That means discussions about what matters most and collaborative goal-setting. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; she will help you decide what fits based on your needs and preferences.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when tensions rise. Some formats require less bandwidth or no video, which can suit brief updates or daytime appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions, with the same focus on practical skills and small steps.
