About Ana

Ana Stevenson is an LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She combines practical therapy with a calm, person-centered approach. Ana communicates in English and Spanish and draws on a wide life experience to connect with clients.

Ana has nine years of clinical experience and many more years of international life experience across Asia, Africa, South America, and the United States. That background informs how she listens and how she responds to difficult life transitions, immigration concerns, and grief. She frames work around each person's goals rather than following one fixed path.

In sessions she blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, dialectical strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. That mix lets her address symptoms like anxiety and depression while also working with the body, habits, and daily routines. She emphasizes pacing the work to match each person's needs.

Ana also offers support for relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction-related concerns, and caregiver burnout. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. Practical skill-building and clearer communication are common themes in her work.

People who choose Ana can expect straightforward language and a focus on what to try between sessions. She works collaboratively to set goals and track small steps toward better balance and self-kindness.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Ana blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral strategies and EMDR in a way that fits remote work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace to set goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories using structured processing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ana works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

For practical matters, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing when life is hectic. Talk with Ana about what will help you engage most consistently and comfortably.
