About Ana
Ana Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical ways to handle day-to-day pressures.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. That can mean learning new ways to manage anxious moments, changing patterns that deepen low mood, or testing small behavioral shifts that reduce stress.
Ana also supports people who are handling caregiver strain, feelings of isolation, or questions about life purpose. In sessions she listens for what’s getting in the way and then helps set small, achievable goals. She keeps work concrete so progress can be seen between meetings.
Her approach favors plain language and practical exercises over long theory. Expect short, focused conversations and suggested practices to try between sessions. This helps people build skills for everyday life rather than only talking about feelings.
To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Ana conducts work in English and does not accept international clients.
BHow sessions work
How Ana Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Ana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In plain terms, CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try specific changes in how they act. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress management.Finding the right method is part of the work. Ana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits, then recommend an approach together. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce time lost to travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For example, remote sessions can work well when people need to schedule around work or caregiving duties, or when a quick follow-up is helpful after trying an exercise between appointments.
