Ana Parra, LPC

Ana Parra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings 12 years of experience in mental health and approaches sessions with warmth and directness. Ana aims to create a respectful space where people can speak openly and be heard.

Her work focuses on stress and anxiety along with depression, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction. Parents who are juggling sleep, eating, and parenting challenges will find practical support for everyday demands.

Ana draws from several approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-centered methods make sure the person’s own goals guide the work.

Her style is interactive and strengths-focused. Sessions emphasize clear steps, skills practice, and feedback that people can use between meetings. Ana also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential thinking when those approaches match the concern.

Ana offers services in English and Spanish. If you are considering therapy, she suggests completing the service's short questionnaire to match and schedule a first session.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online care

Ana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them, then practicing new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend ways of working that fit each person. That collaboration helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time, and supports continued skill practice between meetings. If you prefer a shorter check-in or a meeting that does not require video, mention that when scheduling so the therapist can suggest suitable arrangements.
