About Ana
Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of experience. She has worked as a rehab counselor, advocate, and therapist. Ana draws on a variety of methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma.
She speaks English and Spanish and meets people where they are. Ana works in a warm, interactive style. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps.
She pays attention to how early attachments affect current relationships and coping.
Background and approach
That perspective can help when someone struggles with abandonment, intimacy, or communication problems. Her toolbox includes Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused ideas. She adapts tools to the person in front of her rather than sticking to a single formula.
In practice that means talking through patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building skills for stressful moments. People come to Ana for many reasons - parenting stress, relationship struggles, grief, chronic pain, ADHD, or recovery from abuse. She also supports those facing career transitions, caregiver strain, or issues with body image and self-esteem.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on what matters most right now. Ana aims to make therapy understandable and useful. She works with clients to set achievable steps between sessions and checks in on progress.
Her goal is to help people feel safer in relationships and more able to cope with life changes.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect and cope today; it can help when someone feels stuck in patterns of abandonment, withdrawal, or reactive behavior. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person to find their own solutions; it is useful for building self-esteem and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with the client to test methods and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining attachment-focused exploration with concrete CBT skills or shifting toward emotion-focused work as the relationship progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
