About Ana
Ana Crixell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. She helps people build communication skills, boost self-esteem, and handle anger and grief in practical ways.
She brings ten years of experience working with issues that affect daily life, including workplace tension, parenting challenges, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Ana pays attention to how routine pressures and past hurts shape current reactions and choices.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions center on clear goals, skill building, and small steps clients can try between meetings. She uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new habits, and repair strained relationships.
Ana often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused techniques to keep therapy focused and actionable. She also draws on mindfulness and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the problem. People who come to her typically want practical tools and honest conversation.
She aims to make progress feel manageable, whether someone needs help coping with trauma and abuse, addressing ADHD-related challenges, or navigating career stress. Ana offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Ana uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change habits and manage emotions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so they feel heard and supported, which helps when sorting out family problems or personal stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers tools to reduce anxiety and depression by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.She treats choosing a method as a shared decision. The therapist and client talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps pick approaches that match the person's needs and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy into busy schedules. Video works well for longer conversations and relationship work, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets clients check in during a break, and text messaging supports quick check-ins or practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
