Ana Crixell

Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stressful life changes and relationship challenges. She works directly with clients to improve communication, manage anxiety, and build stronger coping skills.

Ana brings ten years of practice experience to her work. She often helps people dealing with stress, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Many clients also seek support for workplace issues, career decisions, and parenting challenges.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical skills like clearer communication, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. She uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to meet each person's needs.

Ana pays special attention to concerns commonly faced by women, including self-esteem, control issues, and the emotional impacts of divorce or separation. She also addresses ADHD-related struggles and family problems without assuming a single path forward.

In the therapy room she aims to make things manageable and understandable. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, tools they can use between sessions, and step-by-step planning for change. To start, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ana integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make meaningful change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach supports emotional exploration and clearer communication. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Together they decide which techniques to keep using and which to adjust over time.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals can use a mix of clinical approaches to help people practice skills and track progress between meetings.
