About Ana

Ana Salazar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and draws on ten years of clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She centers therapy on the stories people tell about themselves.

That Narrative focus helps identify unhelpful patterns and opens space for new perspectives. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment work to manage symptoms and build healthier habits.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Ana listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people try small experiments between sessions. She uses mindfulness techniques to slow down intense emotions and motivational interviewing strategies to support change when someone is unsure where to start.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ issues, immigration and multicultural matters, addictions, and anger. She also works with blended family questions, divorce or separation stress, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. Ana aims to create an atmosphere where people feel acknowledged and valued.

She helps clients clarify what matters to them, set realistic goals, and take steps that fit their daily life. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs and schedules.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online care

Online therapy with Ana draws on Narrative Therapy to look at the stories a person carries about themselves and their relationships. That approach helps uncover patterns and invites new ways of describing hard situations, which can reduce shame and open options for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements this by encouraging action around personal values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings without letting them stop progress.

These approaches are offered in a collaborative way. The therapist works with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. Together they explore what matters most, test different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps in practice rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or travel and let people choose the pace and level of contact that works for them.
