About Ana
Ana Manrique is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with people who face anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction-related difficulties, stress, anger, and relationship struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and uses a respectful, empathetic style to help people take practical steps forward.
Ana centers sessions on each person’s strengths and choices. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on what already works.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills that can be used day to day. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice and accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful values. Ana also brings client-centered listening and motivational interviewing when people need space to find their own direction and commitment. Sessions tend to be practical and collaborative, with a mix of talking, problem solving, and at-home practice.
She has supported people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career concerns, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and coping after disasters. For someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, she aims to offer steady support and clear next steps.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for anger, grief, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered listening so the plan matches each person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
