About Ana
Ana Budeguer is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship problems, family conflict, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She speaks both English and Spanish and draws on 17 years of clinical experience to support people through difficult transitions.
Ana was born in Argentina and has lived in the United States for over 20 years, which informs her understanding of immigration stress and cultural adjustment. She uses a blend of practical talk therapy and body-focused work to help people feel more steady in daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions often combine conversation about patterns and past experiences with attention to how the body holds stress. This approach can make memories and emotions easier to manage in the moment. In sessions Ana may use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating relationship patterns that trace back to earlier life experiences. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting current safety and functioning. Ana aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be spoken about plainly.
She partners with people to set realistic goals and to practice skills between meetings. Many clients find having a steady, consistent place to work through loss, attachment wounds, or communication struggles helps them feel less alone. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People who want to begin can follow a brief online matching process and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between the body and emotions, using gentle attention to breath, posture, and physical sensations to help people feel less overwhelmed by stress and trauma. This can be useful for people who notice tension, numbness, or physical reactions tied to difficult memories.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and often includes small exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change harmful patterns.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that shape current feelings and responses. Talking about these patterns can bring greater understanding and new choices in relationships and emotional life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes these approaches more accessible. It offers flexibility for scheduling, allows people to join from home, and supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options can make it easier to maintain momentum while adapting therapy to everyday life.
