About Ana
Ana Manrique is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction-related concerns, and relationship struggles. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she centers each session on the person's strengths and goals.
Ana believes the client knows their own story best. She listens closely and helps people identify practical steps they can take to feel steadier and more able to cope. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to real-life problems like parenting stress, career challenges, grief, and changes after adoption or foster care experiences.
Her work blends techniques that teach skills and change patterns with a strong emphasis on acceptance and values. Clients learn ways to notice thoughts and emotions, take meaningful action, and practice new habits that fit their life. She also uses motivational and mindfulness strategies to support recovery and reduce impulsive or harmful behaviors.
Ana often helps people build emotional resources after traumatic events and supports those managing compassion fatigue or caregiver strain. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, commitment and communication problems, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Prospective clients in Texas can complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the scheduling process and find out more about how she structures work together.
Approaches that translate to online care
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete behavioral changes that reduce symptoms over time. CBT is often helpful for stress, low mood, and managing addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and priorities shift, so therapy feels practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Ana’s clinical approaches are well suited to remote conversations because they emphasize skill practice, behavior change, and planning that fit into everyday life. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins without changing day-to-day routines.
