About Ana
Ana Salazar is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She communicates in English and Spanish and focuses on helping clients find clearer direction and stronger coping skills.
Ana draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, meaningful actions.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused and collaborative so clients leave with concrete steps they can try between meetings. She has ten years of experience working with concerns like low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with intimacy or relationship patterns. Additional areas she addresses include blended family issues, immigration-related stress, coping with disasters, addiction concerns, and multicultural challenges.
Ana also helps people navigate life transitions such as divorce or separation, parenting strain, family problems, and forgiveness work. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who want to build or maintain healthier habits. The approach in sessions is warm and client-centered.
Ana aims to make the therapeutic process understandable and usable for everyday life. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and follow-up ideas to practice between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where the goal is living a meaningful life despite discomfort.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting for issues like anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It pairs well with ACT and CBT to help people stay grounded when they face strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together what tools to keep using and what to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you have face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to try therapeutic tools in real time.
