About Ana
Ana Salazar is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, and anger. Ana also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to immigration and multicultural challenges.
Her approach focuses on practical tools and clear conversation. Sessions mix acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practice. She uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to understand what matters to each person and to support small, doable changes.
Ana often helps people notice patterns that fuel anger or resentment and then develop steps to respond differently. She talks through concrete strategies for handling frustrating work situations, tense family moments, and days when stress feels overwhelming. Sessions include simple exercises, values clarification, and behavioral experiments to test new responses.
She values bilingual work and adapts language to the client’s needs. Ana pays attention to cultural and immigration-related concerns and supports people navigating blended family stress, divorce, or disaster-related disruption. Her practice emphasizes steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Ana uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, and she accepts international clients.
How Ana applies ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Ana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take actions that matter despite strong emotions. ACT can be useful for anger that arises from unmet goals or ongoing stress because it focuses on values-based choices rather than trying to eliminate feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep anger stuck. CBT offers practical exercises to test new thinking, change unhelpful reactions, and build alternative habits for work and home situations.
Client-Centered Therapy and motivational interviewing inform how sessions are run. These approaches prioritize listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and gently prompting motivation for change. That collaborative tone helps clients set realistic steps and try them between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ana will discuss goals, preferences, and challenges and then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist adjust strategies together based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes bilingual sessions more accessible for English and Spanish speakers and supports people living outside the therapist's state or country.
