About Ana

Ana Stevenson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico. She brings a person-centered approach that starts with listening and follows the client’s goals. Ana speaks English and Spanish and draws on extensive life experience living across multiple continents.

She frames therapy around connection and practical change. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship strain. Ana uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide conversations and build trust so clients can name what they want to change.

Her background includes nine years of professional experience in behavioral health and related roles. Before clinical practice she spent time in employee relations and international settings, which broadened her perspective on culture and transition. That mix of experience informs how she notices patterns and responds to life changes.

Ana works with people facing trauma, addiction concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and major life transitions. She also addresses issues such as attachment, caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, and isolation. Her approach often combines talk-based work with body-focused techniques to help people feel more grounded.

Clients can expect a compassionate, practical style that emphasizes self-kindness and gradual change. Therapy aims to increase balance and daily coping skills. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.

How client-centered and evidence-based approaches work online

Ana combines Client-Centered Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and following the client’s priorities to set the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating emotions and improving distress tolerance in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is often a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the person’s needs and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing scheduling during shorter breaks. It can also accommodate people in different regions, since international clients are accepted, and it supports continuing work during times of transition or change.
