About Ana
Ana Crixell is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and life transitions. She focuses on practical skills such as communication, coping strategies, and emotion management. Sessions are for individuals seeking clearer ways to handle conflict, workplace strain, parenting stress, or changes like separation and grief.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests new responses. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and structures sessions around a person’s own goals. The Gottman Method tools are used when relationship patterns and communication breakdowns are a main concern.
Ana often helps people who are managing anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, or the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also works on career issues, forgiveness, and women's issues that come up alongside everyday stressors. The language in sessions tends to be direct and focused on small, practical changes that can fit into a busy life.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration: the client and counselor pick skills and experiments to try between meetings. Work is goal-oriented and paced to match what someone can do in their daily routine. People leaving sessions usually have concrete next steps to practice before the next meeting.
Ana practices in Texas and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the platform's matching and scheduling tools.
How CBT and related methods translate to online work
Ana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors; this approach is practical and focuses on specific skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for the client to set goals and for the therapist to follow what matters most to that person. The Gottman Method offers structured tools to address communication problems and recurring relationship patterns when those are a focus.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Ana will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and plan small, doable exercises to try between meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use video for full sessions and may use phone or other options for brief follow-ups, but check which formats Ana currently offers when you schedule.
