About Annai
Annai Burrola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico. She brings three years of professional clinical experience and a decade of community work to sessions. Annai offers bilingual support in English and Spanish and aims to create a welcoming space for people to speak openly about hard things.
She uses approaches that focus on relationships and emotions. In sessions Annai helps people understand attachment patterns, name difficult feelings, and practice mindfulness skills that calm the nervous system.
How Annai works
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and take practical steps toward change. Common concerns Annai addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and life transitions.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and ADHD. Annai describes her practice as affirming of ALGBTQ2+ identities, sex-positive, and supportive of polyamory and consensual nonmonogamy. She also attends to issues such as domestic violence, dissociation, attachment problems, and communication struggles.
The aim is to build practical skills while exploring emotional patterns. Sessions are offered in several formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Annai encourages people to take the first step and complete a short questionnaire to begin the matching process.

Online support options
Attachment and Emotion-Focused Care Online
Annai uses attachment-based work to help people see how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when relationship patterns, attachment issues, or communication problems cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on identifying and processing strong emotions so people can respond more clearly in close relationships. EFT can help with intimacy-related issues, grief, and relationship stress.Client-centered therapy is also part of her approach, which means sessions are guided by the person seeking help. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - Annai works with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits their life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and body language. Phone sessions can be easier when a stable internet connection is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
