Ana Salazar, LMHC

Ana Salazar is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who offers therapy in English and Spanish. She creates a warm, respectful setting where people can talk about what matters most to them. Her style aims to help clients reconnect with purpose and move toward daily life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

With 10 years of experience, she helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and addictions. Relationship and family concerns are part of her focus, along with parenting and blended family issues.

Her approach blends practical tools and reflective work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and Client-Centered techniques help people slow down, notice their experience, and feel heard.

Ana also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need encouragement to change habits and make decisions. She attends to multicultural and immigration concerns and can address challenges related to divorce, forgiveness, and disaster recovery. Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish to accommodate language preference.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Ana emphasizes collaboration: she works together with each person to set clear goals and practical next steps.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online work

Ana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, which can help with motivation and life changes. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and tries practical experiments to change how someone feels and acts, useful for anxiety and depression.

She also incorporates Client-Centered techniques, which mean listening closely and responding to each person's experience without judgment. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to find the best fit and may combine methods as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue consistent work from different locations. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they will fit your schedule. The therapist will help tailor the format and approach to practical needs and goals.
