Ana Garcia, LPC

Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Ana emphasizes practical, straightforward steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing new ways of responding. That can include simple behavioral experiments, clearer communication skills, and short mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.

Ana also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-term patterns, such as attachment or abandonment concerns, and how those patterns shape current relationships. She works on concrete problems like communication issues, codependency, infidelity, and managing caregiver stress. She helps people name guilt, shame, or isolation and take small steps toward change.

In sessions she tends to be practical and direct. People can expect to talk through specific situations, try a different response, and review what worked. She explains techniques plainly and sets achievable practice tasks between meetings.

Her background in multiple approaches lets her match methods to a person’s needs. If goals or circumstances change, she adjusts the plan and stays focused on what helps most now.
