About Cira
Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW-accredited social worker with seven years in mental health practice. She is a qualified psychotherapist and a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression, and she works in both English and Spanish.
Cira uses several well-established approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking. She talks through strategies for managing intense feelings and reducing patterns that make anger and anxiety worse.
Her work also covers attachment issues, caregiver stress, immigration concerns, and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and intellectual disability. She supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, loneliness, obsessive behaviours and problems with communication.
She runs Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction groups and uses mindfulness skills in individual work to help with attention and emotion regulation. Sessions aim to build simple routines people can use day to day, not just in the room.
Cira emphasises collaboration. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their life and helps them try usable tools, notice what changes, and adjust the plan based on real results.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses to reduce reactivity and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication; these skills are useful when strong emotions or impulsivity cause problems.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as they learn what helps. That means trialling exercises, checking what changes, and picking the techniques that fit day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexible ways to practice skills between sessions. Appropriately qualified counsellors and therapists use these formats to help people learn emotion regulation, improve communication, and build routines that reduce anger and stress.
