About Ana
Ana Crixell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and difficult transitions. She uses straightforward methods to help clients improve communication, handle anger, and build everyday coping skills. Ana draws on ten years of clinical experience to address stress, anxiety, depression, and workplace pressure.
She also helps people facing grief, trauma, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts.
Background and approach
Her work frequently involves improving self-esteem and managing ADHD-related challenges. In sessions she emphasizes clear conversation and practical tools. Clients learn ways to notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps.
She encourages realistic goals that fit daily life rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Ana blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to calm the body and the mind, and solution-focused strategies to identify quick, workable steps forward.
The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship communication and conflict skills. People come to her for help with communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and workplace conflict. She supports parents who are juggling care and career demands and those adjusting to family separation.
Ana aims to make therapy a practical, steady place to build new habits and regain balance.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects back concerns and supports clients in finding their own answers, which helps when facing relationship or parenting challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps and homework exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease intense emotions. These tools can be used during moments of anger or overwhelm to create a pause and choose a different response.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Sessions can shift over time based on what proves most helpful in reaching those goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person session and suits in-depth conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and work well for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging let clients share updates or try brief exercises between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress steady.
