About Ana
Ana Parra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Systemic therapy alongside evidence-based approaches. She talks plainly and directly with people about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Ana’s style is warm and interactive and she aims to make space for honest conversation.
She brings 12 years of experience in mental health and works with adults on a range of concerns. Common focuses include coping with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, workplace stress, parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma and addiction.
Background and approach
Ana also addresses attention-related concerns like ADHD and issues around body image or social anxiety. Ana blends Systemic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques. That means she looks at patterns in relationships and daily life, helps people clarify their values, and centers each person’s experience during sessions.
She uses practical exercises and conversational exploration to build skills over time. Sessions may include problem-solving, behavior experiments, and emotional regulation strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Ana aims to help clients try small, manageable changes and notice different results.
She encourages questions and sets goals together with each person. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Ana works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support
How these approaches work in online therapy
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and routines. Online sessions let Ana and the client map how relationships, roles, and daily habits affect stress and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. That work can translate well to short exercises and homework between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can steer their own goals.Ana will collaborate with each client to find the best approach for their needs. She starts by asking about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques and formats that fit the client’s preferences and day-to-day life, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and shared exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can help with brief updates, coping reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
