About Ana
Ana Salazar uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida and offers sessions in English and Spanish. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on small, achievable steps that fit real life.
Her work often centers on helping people respond to difficult feelings and rebuild everyday functioning after loss, trauma, or relationship strain.
Background and approach
She combines acceptance-based ideas with cognitive tools so people can notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them. Mindfulness practices and motivational strategies are woven into sessions to boost focus and steady progress. Ana has roughly ten years of experience supporting clients through grief, family problems, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and immigration-related stress.
She also helps people facing multicultural adjustment and the long-term effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions aim to make coping skills concrete and usable between meetings. Therapy sessions are conversational and collaborative.
She listens for each person’s goals and tailors exercises that can be tried between meetings. The work may include tracking patterns, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, or setting small behavioral experiments. People who prefer flexible communication can use video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
International clients who speak English or Spanish can work with her. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once a match is made.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based action. It teaches simple skills to make choices that matter despite discomfort, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and identifies small, testable shifts. It is useful for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing unhelpful behavior patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity. Brief mindfulness exercises can be practiced between sessions to improve emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. This allows methods to be adjusted over time based on what works best for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, frequent contact and can help maintain momentum between longer appointments.
