About Ana
Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She offers counseling in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at making the first step feel possible for someone who is nervous about beginning therapy.
Ana uses Client-Centered Therapy to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings.
How Ana works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thinking patterns and try small experiments that change how they feel. Sessions are practical and goal-focused while still honoring each person's pace. She helps clients work on self-esteem, body image, impulsivity, and social anxiety.
Ana also supports people facing relationship strain, communication problems, parenting pressures, and life transitions. Young adult issues and questions about life purpose and self-love are part of her usual focus. Conversations emphasize skills that can be used between sessions - for example coping strategies for anxiety, planning for better sleep, or steps to improve communication.
Ana combines listening with straightforward tools so clients leave with something to try that week. People who prefer Spanish may choose to speak in that language. The therapist frames progress as steady and collaborative, and she encourages taking small steps that add up over time.

How Ana’s Approaches Work Online
Ana often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach helps people feel heard and better able to talk about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds practical steps such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ana will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She balances active tools with supportive listening and adjusts plans based on how someone responds over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family life.
