About Ana
Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a client-centered approach to support people facing relationship and life changes. She focuses on practical communication skills and helping people build stronger coping habits. Her style is calm and collaborative, aimed at making therapy feel like a helpful conversation.
Ana helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression during difficult transitions. She often addresses family problems, workplace issues, and the emotional strain around separation or divorce. Clients also come for help with anger, self-esteem, and grief.
Her work includes support for parenting challenges and career-related stress. Ana uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship communication and solution-focused ideas to set clear goals.
Sessions are built around each person’s goals and pace. Ana listens without judgment and helps people try small, practical steps between meetings. She pays attention to control issues and communication breakdowns that keep problems repeating.
With ten years of experience in Texas settings, Ana aims to empower people to make steady changes. She helps clients notice what’s working, practice different ways of relating, and create routines that reduce daily overwhelm. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits their needs.
Approaches that translate to online support
Ana combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based tools to help people manage worry and change habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understand their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust those methods as progress is made. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
The original profile did not specify which online session types are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. It can also support regular practice of skills like mindfulness and communication exercises between meetings, helping people build steady habits that fit everyday life.
