About Ana
Ana Stevenson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with nine years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, grief, parenting, anger, and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Ana brings broad life experience from living in Asia, Africa, South America, and the United States. She spent many years in employee relations and in clinical roles supporting people through difficult transitions and trauma. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style and an emphasis on real-life problems like work strain, family pressures, and immigration stress.
Her approach centers on the person and their goals. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and EMDR when appropriate. In plain terms, sessions can include talking through problems, learning new coping skills, and practicing attention and grounding exercises.
Ana also brings attention to how the body responds to stress. She blends thinking work with somatic awareness and techniques aimed at reducing overwhelm. This can help people manage anxiety, process traumatic memories, and rebuild everyday routines.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.
BHow sessions work
How Ana’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps shape sessions around what matters most, which can be useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and coping with stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT often includes practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process traumatic memories by combining attention tasks with guided recall. It is often used for trauma and abuse-related difficulties and can be adapted for remote work when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-based plan like CBT, focusing on emotional regulation with DBT-informed practices, or incorporating EMDR elements.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family schedules, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options for sessions that do not require video if that is more convenient. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit daily life and routines.
