About Ana
Ana Crixell is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and work-related challenges. Ana helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes or strained ties at home and work.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to improve communication and reduce conflict. Sessions often include skill-building for handling anger, managing anxiety, and improving self-esteem. Ana also helps people sort through problems at work, cope with divorce or separation, and handle the fallout of past trauma.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try different responses. Gottman Method ideas appear when relationship interaction patterns are a focus. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques are used to develop short-term tools and pay attention to what works in daily life.
People meet with Ana to practice clearer ways of speaking, set boundaries, and make practical plans for change. She often guides exercises for calming the body and changing unhelpful thoughts. The aim is to leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Ana has particular experience supporting women through life transitions and workplace stress. She encourages incremental progress and revisits goals as circumstances change. English-language sessions are provided in Texas and she does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ana commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating space for people to identify what matters most to them, which helps when sorting through relationship and family stresses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, and unhelpful patterns.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative tuning aims to match methods to the client's needs, preferences, and daily life demands.

Licensed professionals typically work with clients to choose the best rhythm and session length for their goals.
