About Ana
Ana Manrique is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 9 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction-related struggles, relationship concerns, parenting stresses, career strain, grief, and related challenges.
Ana uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help clients sort through difficult feelings. She treats the person and the situation together, helping people notice patterns that lead to snapping, withdrawing, or building resentment. Sessions focus on practical tools and small changes that can be tried between meetings.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. That means clients can expect both skills practice and reflective conversation. Some meetings look like setting small behavior goals, and others focus on noticing thoughts and bodily reactions.
Ana believes clients carry useful strengths and knowledge about their own lives. She works collaboratively to identify what matters to each person and what realistic next steps look like. Progress is measured by clearer responses to triggers, fewer impulsive reactions, and better day-to-day coping, rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. For people in Texas seeking help with anger, stress, or related concerns, Ana’s style is steady and practical. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to set up a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Ana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters to them despite uncomfortable feelings. ACT is useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of relationships or work.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce reactive responses. CBT can help with snapping at others, rumination, and repetitive negative thinking.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Ana will help clients try techniques and notice what actually helps. Together they adjust methods based on the client's goals, responses, and preferences rather than assuming one fixed path.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice new skills in their everyday environments and bring real situations into conversation without promising specific results.
