About Ana
Ana Rincon uses a practical, problem-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, and she brings 17 years of experience to each conversation. Ana emphasizes straightforward steps and clear goals so parents and caregivers can see progress without jargon.
Ana adapts sessions to the person in front of her. She listens first, then works with each person to build small, doable changes.
How Ana works
That might mean learning simple tools to reduce worry, setting short-term goals to rebuild confidence, or finding ways to cope with loss and life changes. <br Her practice also addresses caregiver strain, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She helps people notice where stress is coming from and choose practical actions in daily life.
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings so improvements continue outside the call. Ana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps break unhelpful patterns and replace them with more helpful habits.
She personalizes CBT techniques to match each person's pace and priorities. People who work with Ana can expect respectful, compassionate conversation and a collaborative plan. She encourages small steps and regular check-ins to track what is working.
If someone is looking to reduce anxiety, manage grief, or regain motivation, she offers a clear, steady approach.

Online support options
CBT-based care offered through online sessions
Ana relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns so daily life becomes easier.Sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client work together to choose which techniques to try and to set realistic goals. Over time they check progress and adjust the approach based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to use written reflections between sessions.
These options give flexibility so people can continue therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments. The therapist will discuss which format matches a person's needs, goals, and daily routine.
