About Ana
Ana Salazar is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with ten years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life strain. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on practical ways to help with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship and family concerns.
She uses several well-established approaches to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift them into more useful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult feelings without being controlled by them and to act according to personal values. Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Ana also brings client-centered listening and motivational interviewing into sessions. That means sessions often begin with clear, respectful listening and move toward practical next steps the person feels ready to try. She aims for direct, manageable tools rather than long lectures or jargon.
Her work covers many life challenges people bring in day-to-day living, including coping with loss, immigration-related stress, blended family issues, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related problems. Ana highlights multicultural perspectives and forgiveness as part of recovery and adjustment.
People who prefer Spanish-language sessions can use that option. International clients are accepted. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How sessions work
Practical approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps a person notice hard feelings like anger and choose actions that match their values rather than react on impulse. It focuses on small, concrete steps and learning to live with feelings without letting them take control.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going. Sessions often involve identifying triggering thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity in the moment. These exercises can be short and repeated throughout the day to help with anger and anxiety management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. It is a step-by-step process rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, like brief mindfulness practices or CBT homework, translate cleanly to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings.
