Ana Crixell, LPC

Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She emphasizes clear communication and practical coping tools so clients can handle everyday pressures more easily. Her style is warm and collaborative, inviting clients to set goals and try small changes that add up over time.

She has ten years of experience addressing issues like workplace strain, relationship difficulties, and family problems. Much of her work supports people coping with anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and major life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also helps people who are navigating ADHD-related challenges.

Therapy sessions center on improving how people talk about needs and boundaries. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and create different behavior patterns.

Ana also draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and teach simple ways to calm the mind. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and repair interaction cycles. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete, achievable next steps.

Her work emphasizes practical skills over labels. Clients leave with specific strategies for handling stressful moments, clearer communication habits, and a plan for the next steps in their lives. To get started, people follow the site process to match with her and schedule sessions.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Ana commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the client’s lead and builds sessions around what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She may also use mindfulness practices to help with stress regulation and brief solution-focused steps to set small, achievable goals. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time to find what works best.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, support quicker check-ins during work breaks, and allow sessions when camera-free conversations are preferred. Licensed professionals tailor online work to practical needs while focusing on communication skills and coping strategies that translate well outside the therapy hour.
