About Ana

Ana Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She offers a calm, patient presence and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use right away. Ana speaks English and Spanish and practices in Nevada.

Her work centers on building a trusting relationship through active listening and empathy. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

Ana also uses EMDR techniques as part of her approach for processing trauma and distressing memories. She tailors sessions to what an individual needs, mixing short-term solution-focused strategies with longer work on family of origin issues or self-esteem. Many people come for help with career decisions, school transitions, or finding life purpose; others seek support for anger, relationship stress, or multicultural concerns.

Sessions may include talking, guided exercises, and skills practice. Ana sometimes suggests activities outside the session, such as mindful walking, to help transfer learning into daily life. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping people feel more in control between visits.

People who choose Ana can expect a collaborative plan that targets immediate coping skills and longer-term goals. She invites clients to shape the work and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online support

Using EMDR, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Ana blends several approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so the person sets the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and habits with concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Ana also incorporates EMDR elements for processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional charge of disturbing events.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try methods that seem most helpful, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person wants to achieve and how they respond in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when in-person sessions are not possible.
