How Ana-Maria works
In sessions she focuses on understanding what is causing distress right now. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. From there she and the client decide on practical steps to try between sessions.
She also addresses related concerns such as family problems, fatherhood issues, fertility worries, guilt and shame, and immigration stress. Other areas she helps with include postpartum depression, workplace struggles, money concerns, and feeling isolated or disconnected. Ana-Maria works in English and Spanish.
She welcomes international clients and offers flexible online formats to make scheduling easier. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Approach and online therapy options
Ana-Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to what the client needs. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice triggers and try small behavior changes that can make daily life easier.Another approach emphasizes processing difficult experiences and building coping skills for trauma and abuse. This work involves pacing conversations about painful events and adding tools to manage strong emotions between sessions. For relationship or life-change concerns she aims to build concrete communication and problem-solving habits the client can use in real situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana-Maria will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work matches changing needs.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into real life.
