About Annai
Annai Burrola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how relationships shape their feelings and behavior. She combines that perspective with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused work to create a calm, supportive space.
Annai speaks English and Spanish and brings three years of clinical experience alongside a decade of community support work. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Annai helps clients talk through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her practice is explicitly inclusive.
Annai identifies as trauma-informed, bicultural, and bilingual, and she affirms gender diversity, LGBT identities, polyamory and consensual nonmonogamy, and neurodiversity. That means she aims to create a space where people can speak freely about identity and relationship choices without judgment. Clinically, she draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationships affect connection and trust.
She uses client-centered techniques to keep the work collaborative, and emotionally-focused tools to help people name and shift painful feelings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when useful. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are available in English and Spanish.
To begin, a straightforward matching and scheduling process helps connect each person to the right path forward.

Online support
How attachment and emotionally-focused work translate online
Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how past and present relationships influence feelings and behavior. Online sessions let clients name those patterns and practice different ways of reaching out and responding from wherever they are. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift intense emotions that drive conflict or withdrawal; in a remote session this often looks like naming a feeling, tracing its effect, and trying small shifts in response with the therapist's guidance.Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and adapts to what feels most useful. Finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist will work with each person to choose which methods and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an attachment lens one week and a mindfulness exercise the next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for seeing nonverbal cues during emotionally-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make frequent, brief support possible between longer appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
