About Ana

Ana Parra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience in mental health care. She has worked with children ages 5-13, adolescents, and adults, supporting people through a range of concerns from depression and anxiety to self-harm, substance use, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Drawing on a broad clinical background, she tailors her work to the needs of each person she meets and emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Ana’s style is warm and interactive, inviting clients to explore their strengths and develop practical skills for coping with life’s challenges. She integrates evidence-based approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients build insight, reduce distress, and pursue meaningful goals. She also brings experience addressing issues like low self-esteem, grief, addiction, parenting concerns, ADHD, and workplace stress.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Ana aims to create a space where people can speak openly without judgment and work collaboratively toward change. She recognizes that asking for help takes courage and is committed to supporting each person through the process of healing and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions to encourage committed behavior toward what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist provides empathy and genuine understanding so the client can explore their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching practical strategies for managing symptoms, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel like the best fit given their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a therapist - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals like Ana to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating scheduling needs and communication preferences.
