About Ana
Ana Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to therapy. She offers warm, direct support and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Ana speaks English and Spanish and practices in Nevada.
Ana uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals at the center of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
How Ana works
When past trauma is in the way, she can use EMDR to address difficult memories and the reactions that follow. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Ana helps people build skills for coping with anger, boosting self-esteem, and finding direction in career or life purpose work.
She also offers coaching-style support for decision points and transitions. Her background includes extensive work around trauma and post-traumatic stress, family of origin concerns, and multicultural issues. She blends talk therapy with concrete tools so people leave sessions with steps they can try between meetings.
Ana is comfortable addressing women’s issues, self-love, and challenges common to young adults. She may suggest mindfulness practices and occasional nature walks as part of therapeutic work when appropriate.

Online support options
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Ana often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to what the person wants and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another core tool she uses to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and replace them with more helpful alternatives; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ana will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend a path forward. That plan can change as work progresses, and she adjusts methods based on what is helping most in sessions.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit work into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or simpler to schedule, and live chat or text-based messaging offer short check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility for different rhythms of healing while still using CBT, EMDR, or client-centered work as appropriate.
