Ana Crixell

Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate tough life changes and relationship tensions. She centers sessions on clear communication, practical coping skills, and building emotional resilience. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients make steady progress on the issues that matter most to them.

With ten years of experience, Ana works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the fallout from trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, workplace problems, and career transitions. Her practice emphasizes improving self-esteem and reducing the impact of control issues and communication breakdowns.

In session she uses a mix of conversational and goal-oriented work. Ana draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used to help people manage intense feelings in the moment.

She also incorporates practical strategies from solution-focused work and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. Sessions typically include skill-building, planning small experiments, and checking what actually helps between meetings. The overall aim is steady, workable change rather than quick fixes.

Ana asks people to self-reflect and to try concrete steps between sessions. She encourages a collaborative process where goals are regularly reviewed and adjusted. Those seeking to start can expect straightforward, hands-on support as they work through change and rebuild confidence.

Approach-driven online care and practical tools

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s goals and priorities and provides a respectful, listening-based space to sort through emotions and choices. This approach is useful for people who need help clarifying what matters most and making decisions that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking big problems into manageable steps and homework exercises.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to identify goals, try methods, and decide what feels most useful. This helps tailor the work to someone’s needs rather than imposing a single method.
