About Ana
Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and major life changes in everyday language and steps. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people balancing work, family, and personal goals.
Ana uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She helps clients improve communication and handle control issues without jargon.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term strategies for coping, or longer work on self-esteem and emotional regulation. Her practice pays attention to relationship dynamics and workplace strain. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation, family problems, and conflicts at work.
Sessions often focus on clear skills people can try between meetings to see steady progress. Ana also addresses trauma, grief, anger, and ADHD-related challenges with practical plans and calm guidance. She works with women on issues like forgiveness, boundaries, and rebuilding confidence after life transitions.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. The therapist listens first, then offers tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. The goal is to leave each session with a small, doable step toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Ana blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and elements of mindfulness to address everyday problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so clients can speak freely and find their own solutions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Ana listens to each person’s goals and tries methods that fit their situation. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule with lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and life demands.
