About Ana
Ana Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She meets clients in a calm, down-to-earth way and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Ana speaks English and Spanish and draws on a mix of methods to suit each person.
She starts by listening closely to what is most pressing. Then she and the client set clear, short-term goals to guide sessions.
Background and approach
Ana uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work to address negative thinking and build coping skills. For people who have experienced trauma, she can include EMDR as one of several options to reduce the impact of painful memories. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep the work grounded in the client’s priorities and strengths.
Ana has helped adults with depression, anger, family of origin issues, and life transitions. She supports people exploring career choices, young adult concerns, and multicultural issues tied to identity and belonging. Sessions often combine talk work with practical exercises to practice between meetings.
Her approach aims to be collaborative and respectful. Ana works to make changes feel doable rather than overwhelming. She welcomes readers who want steady support while they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.
Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and strengths, giving them space to tell their story while the therapist listens and reflects. It helps people clarify what matters and feel heard during change or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and skills to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, which works well in video or phone sessions where homework is assigned between meetings.
EMDR is a method used with trauma to help reduce the intensity of difficult memories. When appropriate, EMDR can be adapted for online work with clear steps and preparation before any reprocessing begins.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ana will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates or practice skills between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
