About Ana
Ana Manrique, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, has nine years of experience. She works with people on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, self-esteem, career concerns, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Manrique describes the client as the expert in their own story. She aims to build on a person's strengths and practical skills. Therapy focuses on increasing emotional resources, improving communication, and developing coping strategies for stress and grief.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and commitment or control issues. She also helps people affected by adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and problems linked to personality patterns such as avoidant or dependent traits.
Manrique integrates ACT and mindfulness to help people notice values and take committed action. She uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. CBT and motivational interviewing are used when clients want concrete behavior change and clearer decision tools.
People can expect straightforward, skills-focused sessions that emphasize small, usable steps. The therapist supports people working through addiction-related difficulties and compassion fatigue while attending to practical life demands.

How her approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-focused awareness. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques that match the client's needs. Decisions about which methods to use are made together over the first few sessions. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. The therapist's use of ACT, CBT, and mindfulness means online work can include skills practice, values clarification, and behavioral experiments that fit into daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, support shorter check-ins, and allow people to practice skills between meetings. Ask about specific session lengths and formats when scheduling so the plan aligns with your routine and goals.03
