About Ana
Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a client-centered approach to help people navigate work and wellbeing concerns. She focuses on improving communication, managing stress, and strengthening coping skills for everyday life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness strategies are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity and improve calm. Ana also uses the Gottman Method when relationship issues and communication patterns are central.
Over ten years of practice have included supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger. She helps people facing workplace issues, career changes, parenting strain, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Attention-deficit concerns and self-esteem work are also part of her focus.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions involve clarifying goals, practicing new skills, and checking progress between meetings. Ana aims to make therapy useful in daily routines rather than keeping it abstract.
Clients can expect a therapist who centers clear communication and practical steps. The emphasis is on building resilience and tools people can use at home and at work. To begin, the site process asks visitors to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Practical approaches for online work and wellbeing
Ana commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people focus on what matters to them and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, which helps with stress, life changes, and building self-esteem. Cognitive behavioral tools teach simple experiments and behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also incorporates the Gottman Method for relationship work when communication patterns are a key issue. That approach looks at interaction habits and teaches specific skills for clearer conversations and better conflict management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods in collaboration. This makes it easier to try an approach and adjust if it is not fitting the client's goals.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about which session setup will work best for everyday life.
