About Ana

Ana Manrique is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction-related difficulties, and relationship strain. She draws on nine years of experience to help clients build emotional strength and find steadier balance in everyday life. Ana approaches therapy with empathy and respect, and she emphasizes each person's strengths when working toward change.

She treats people as the experts on their own stories and offers guided support as they pursue clearer goals. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, without heavy technical language. Ana listens for what matters most and helps people break problems into manageable actions.

Her clinical work includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. Those methods are used to address mood, stress, coping after loss, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting.

Ana has supported people through issues related to abandonment, attachment, caregiving stress, body image, and life transitions. She also works with people dealing with addiction, anger, grief, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes experience in chemical-dependency settings as well as traditional counseling.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, visitors are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online work

Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. This method often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and taking small steps toward it.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, which can be helpful for managing worry, mood, and stress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the client's needs.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific delivery methods are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, and they can allow for shorter check-ins when that fits a week. If you prefer a particular way to meet, check current options when you start the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your daily routine.
