About Ana
Ana Salazar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who provides therapy in English and Spanish. She focuses on practical, easy-to-follow strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Sessions move at a steady, respectful pace so clients feel heard and make small changes that matter.
Ana draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness methods to build awareness and steady emotions. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with addictive behavior. Her work is shaped by ten years of experience in Florida and by attention to multicultural and immigration-related concerns.
She aims to meet people where they are and adapt tools to each person’s life and values. She is comfortable talking about relationship issues, grief, trauma, and the strain of life transitions. Ana supports people navigating blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family problems.
She also helps clients dealing with anger, intimacy-related questions, and adjustment after natural or human-caused disasters. The room is practical and collaborative, focused on small steps toward clearer goals. People who choose Ana can expect straightforward talk, check-ins on progress, and options for therapy in English or Spanish.
Her approach is warm and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills that fit daily life and parenting responsibilities.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and stuck patterns when someone wants a values-based direction.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is a good fit for people dealing with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills. Client-centered work adds a listening, nonjudgmental stance so clients set the pace and goals for sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss what seems most useful and will adapt methods to a client's goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists see nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low, live chat provides a quicker check-in, and ongoing messaging supports reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily life while still using evidence-informed approaches.
