About Ana
Ana Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She offers a practical, person-focused approach that helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career decisions, and major life changes. Ana speaks English and Spanish and practices from Nevada as an LCSW.
Ana builds sessions around clear listening and practical steps. She blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused exercises. When trauma is part of the picture she may use EMDR techniques as appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify concrete patterns and small changes that fit daily life. She helps people rewrite stress responses, manage anger, and move through grief or past wounds. Career questions and finding life purpose are addressed with coaching-style conversations and goal-setting.
Ana also pays attention to cultural background and family of origin issues. That focus helps when multicultural concerns or early family dynamics shape current struggles. The goal is more self-love and clearer choices, especially for young adults and women navigating transitions.
Her style is steady and collaborative. People can expect a balance of listening, practical exercises, and check-ins on progress. For those who prefer Spanish, sessions are available in that language as well.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Ana draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where a person’s goals and values lead the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and shaping sessions around what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into practical steps. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. When past trauma is a central concern, Ana may incorporate EMDR techniques to address distressing memories and reactions in a paced way.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Ana collaborates with each person to choose what fits their needs and comfort level, adjusting strategies as progress is made. That teamwork helps tailor goals and tools to real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules. Phone or text can be a quicker check-in, while video allows face-to-face conversation; live chat and messaging support shorter reflections or ongoing coaching between sessions.
