About Ana

Ana Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She greets each person with respect and compassion and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Ana explains things in plain language and helps people take small, doable actions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. From there she works with people to try different ways of thinking and behaving that reduce distress. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with homework between meetings when helpful.

Ana adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs. She listens for what matters most and adjusts pace and tools accordingly. This can be especially useful when someone is dealing with a major life change or persistent worries.

She also focuses on caregiver stress, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Those concerns often show up alongside anxiety and depression, and Ana blends practical coping skills with space to process emotions.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that emphasizes clear steps, real-world practice, and supportive conversation. Ana encourages people to recognize progress even when it feels small, and she helps map out what to try next.

CBT approaches and online care that fit your life

Ana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that increase worry or low mood and to practice different ways of responding. CBT focuses on clear steps and exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

She takes a collaborative approach to finding the right method. Together the therapist and client assess goals, try techniques, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. That means plans are tailored and change as needs and preferences evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use tools in the moment when they matter most.
