About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She began her career as a rehab counselor and advocate, then moved into therapy work supporting people through a wide range of life stressors. Ana speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are with practical care and clear guidance.
Ana listens first and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She uses familiar, straightforward conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect a warm, interactive style and a focus on respect and sensitivity during visits. Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, chronic pain or illness, body image and eating concerns, and caregiver stress. Ana addresses both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns like attachment or codependency. Therapy may include goal-based strategies from cognitive behavioral methods as well as attachment-focused conversation and client-centered support.
She draws on several approaches to build a plan that fits each person's situation and preferences. Sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. People often come to Ana for help with parenting strain, career confusion, sleep or eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, and transitions such as divorce or separation.
She also offers coaching-style work for those wanting practical steps alongside emotional work. Her aim is to help clients find clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and relationships
Ana uses approaches that aim to make change practical and understandable. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and everyday habits that support healthier interactions, helping people learn new ways to talk about problems and rebuild trust. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and helps people notice and change long-standing patterns that cause pain.She also works from a client-centered perspective, which means sessions begin with the client's priorities and move at the client's pace. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the issue, goals, and personal style rather than following a single path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins or immediate processing, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the work focused on practical change.
