Ana Ortiz , LPC

Ana Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience working as a rehab counselor, advocate, and therapist. She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including brain injury, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, relationship struggles, parenting difficulties, career and vocational transitions, chronic pain, and both physical and emotional trauma.

Her clinical background spans cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered work, psychodynamic ideas, and rational-emotive approaches, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to the needs of each individual. Ana’s style is warm and interactive, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.

As an LPC, Ana holds a professional license to provide counseling and to work collaboratively with people seeking support for mood, trauma, addiction, relationship, and life-transition concerns. She finds it rewarding to help people take steps toward greater fulfillment and improved daily functioning, and she approaches therapy as a tailored process that honors each person’s goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Ana Ortiz integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people repair connection and trust in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore goals, values, and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ana works with clients to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She frames treatment as a collaborative process and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, support consistent attendance, and allow therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
