About Ana
Ana Stevenson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico. She brings a calm, practical approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. Ana speaks English and Spanish and draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide sessions.
Her work centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to set goals that match each person’s needs.
How Ana works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Ana also integrates mindfulness and EMDR in appropriate cases to address trauma, intrusive memories, and body-based reactions.
Sessions tend to be straightforward - noticing patterns, practicing skills, and testing small changes between meetings. People come with worries about depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, or career stress, and Ana helps break those issues into manageable steps. Her background includes work with immigration-related stress, attachment and caregiving challenges, aging and geriatric issues, and recovery from domestic violence or separation.
That experience informs how she supports people through intense transitions and complex histories. Therapy with Ana is collaborative and paced to what the person can handle. She listens for strengths, suggests practical strategies, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone to her and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Ana Stevenson
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the person wants to change or understand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will discuss different methods and help decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress happens and new concerns arise, so the process stays collaborative. Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or flexible communication on a schedule that suits you. These formats make it easier to fit care around work, caregiving, or busy days while still using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or EMDR techniques adapted for remote work.Start online instead of waiting
