About Ana
Ana Parra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who blends practical, person-focused work with deeper meaning-based questions. She keeps sessions warm and interactive, and aims to give people a place to speak honestly about what feels hard. Ana speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of experience in mental health to her work.
She uses Existential therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
That mix helps people manage symptoms while also looking at values, purpose, and the choices that shape daily life. Sessions often include clear, hands-on strategies and gentle reflection about what matters most. Ana helps with a wide range of concerns.
These include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship issues, parenting strain, workplace stress, body image, social anxiety, and life changes. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical tools.
People can expect collaborative goal-setting, skill practice, and space to name painful feelings without judgment. She adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Ana uses these formats to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep regular contact between sessions when helpful.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ana often combines Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy. Existential work looks at meaning, choice, and what gives life purpose to help people facing big life changes or questions about direction. ACT focuses on present-moment awareness and committed action, teaching people how to accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where the person’s own experience guides the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adjusts methods to suit each person’s needs. That collaborative process helps match practical skills with deeper conversations about values and identity.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let people interact face to face when bandwidth allows; phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, family routines, or changing schedules while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
