About Ana
Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical, skills-based help. She uses straightforward methods to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle relationship and family tensions. Ana aims to make therapy easy to understand and to fit everyday life.
Her work centers on improving communication and building coping skills. She helps people manage anger, boost self-esteem, and navigate grief or trauma and abuse.
How Ana works
Parents who feel overwhelmed can get strategies for parenting and balancing career demands. Ana blends evidence-informed tools with a collaborative, client-centered style. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to calm stress and increase awareness. She has ten years of experience working with workplace issues, control problems, and the aftermath of divorce and separation. Her approach also addresses ADHD-related struggles, forgiveness work, and women’s issues with practical steps rather than long theory sessions.
Sessions emphasize short-term progress and real-world skills. Conversations focus on what’s most urgent and what can change now. Ana encourages people to try different strategies and choose what fits their life best.

Approaches and how online sessions work
Ana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood, and it focuses on practical exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT with mindfulness or using solution-focused moves to tackle a specific problem quickly. Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow a longer conversation similar to an in-person visit, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or fitting a session into a busy day.Start online instead of waiting
