About Ana

Ana Stevenson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico. She combines practical tools with listening to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. Ana draws on a client-centered way of working.

Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, doable steps toward those goals. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior techniques, and EMDR as part of the work when appropriate.

Background and approach

Her background includes nine years of clinical practice and many more years of international life experience. That range has shaped how she connects with people from different backgrounds and with varied concerns. She speaks both English and Spanish.

Ana helps people cope with grief, parenting stress, issues around adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver strain, and immigration-related challenges. She also supports people working through addiction, anger, isolation, and problems with communication and boundaries. Sessions may include practical skill building, processing difficult memories, and developing routines that support mood and relationships.

The emphasis is on collaboration and on tools that can be used between meetings. People often leave sessions with concrete steps they can try that same week.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Ana blends client-centered work with a few focused methods to meet people where they are. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and pace, so sessions follow what the individual wants to address and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework that can be done between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when that fits the person's needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that feel like a fit, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find tools that actually match daily life and priorities.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer, in-depth sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to keep momentum between meetings, and to work in a way that feels manageable.
