About Ana
Ana Budeguer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Ana also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, infidelity, isolation, and caregiver stress. She speaks English and Spanish.
Born and raised in Argentina, Ana has lived in the United States for over 20 years. That background informs her work with immigrant populations and people facing immigration-related stress. In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep a problem repeating, then names them plainly so a client can pick a different response.
Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic ideas and somatic support. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, link them to feelings and bodily reactions, and then try practical alternatives. Sessions focus on clear steps and small experiments people can do between meetings.
Ana uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life. That can include learning grounding or body-based techniques alongside talking about the experience. She guides paced work so people can approach difficult memories without being overwhelmed.
People can expect direct, structured conversations that aim to change both thinking and behavior. The goal is improving day-to-day functioning and relationships by making concrete shifts in thinking, feeling, and action.
How Ana’s approaches translate to online sessions
Ana commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT gives concrete tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments to practice between sessions. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to support people whose past harm is affecting current life; this involves paced exposure, grounding techniques, and planning steps to reduce reactivity.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Ana will review a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level and then recommend which methods to prioritize. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find they can practice CBT exercises and somatic techniques between video or phone meetings, which supports steady progress without requiring extra commute time.
