About Ana
Ana Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and stressful life moments. She works in Nevada and speaks both English and Spanish. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on what people need now.
Ana uses a client-centered style to build trust and listen closely to each person's story. She blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to break unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
For many people she also draws on EMDR to address trauma-related memories and uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. Ana helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and track progress.
She can help with anger, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life changes, and career concerns, along with issues related to family of origin and multicultural identity. Her work often includes coaching elements for clients who want clearer next steps. She also supports young adults and women working through life purpose and self-love issues.
Trauma and post-traumatic stress are addressed with sensitivity and concrete strategies to reduce distress. Ana offers a mix of talk-based work and structured interventions. Some people benefit from short-term, solution-focused plans while others use longer-term sessions to untangle deeper patterns.
She collaborates with each person to match pacing and techniques to their goals.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Ana blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to focus on what a person wants to change. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with listening and building rapport, then move toward issues the person names. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches clear, practical skills to try between sessions.She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories when that fits a person’s goals; this approach involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - Ana will discuss options, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust plans based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for interactive skill practice and longer conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue work from wherever a person is located within Nevada.
