About Ana

Ana Rincon is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She offers calm, practical support and adapts her approach to each person’s situation. Ana aims to make beginning therapy feel doable and affirming for anyone taking that first step.

Her work centers on clear conversation and practical tools. She listens to what is happening now and helps break concerns into manageable steps. Sessions commonly include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in daily routines.

Ana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She uses that framework to help people gain momentum when motivation dips and to reduce anxious thinking. Ana also helps people process loss and the mixed feelings that come with big life changes.

She pays attention to caregiver stress and loneliness as part of a wider picture. That means practical strategies to set boundaries, restore energy, and find small sources of meaning. She works with questions about life purpose and builds plans that fit everyday responsibilities.

Ana practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each meeting, tailoring her dialogue and plans to individual needs. To begin, a simple sign-up starts the matching and scheduling process.

How CBT shapes online therapy and practical coping

Ana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot thought patterns that worsen mood and anxiety, and to try small, manageable behavior changes that can improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for stress, depression, and anxiety because it breaks problems into concrete steps and measurable experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offering flexibility around work and caregiving responsibilities and reducing travel time. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to schedule shorter check-ins or regular appointments that align with their weekly routine, which helps put therapeutic work into everyday life without large disruptions.
