Ana Budeguer , LMHC

Ana Budeguer is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of professional experience helping people navigate relationship struggles, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. She draws on a long history of working with immigrant populations - having been born and raised in Argentina and living in the United States for over 20 years - which informs her sensitivity to the unique stresses involved in adapting to life in a new country. Ana emphasizes collaboration and dignity in her practice, working with clients to create an open, nonjudgmental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.

Her work focuses on practical support for coping with life changes and rebuilding connection - helping clients process abandonment and attachment issues, manage caregiver stress, navigate divorce or separation, address communication problems and infidelity, and find meaning after loss. As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she combines clinical training with real-world empathy to support people through transitions and healing journeys. Ana aims to empower clients to take the first courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, offering steady guidance through the often challenging early stages of change.

Trauma-informed and practical approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is a practical, skills-based approach that can help with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete tools to shift thinking and reactions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the lasting impact of traumatic experiences. It offers structured ways to understand how trauma affects emotions, body responses, and relationships, and supports gradual recovery from abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and the physical effects of stress and trauma. By linking body awareness with emotions and memories, it can help people who feel stuck in tension, panic, or disconnection to regain a sense of safety and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that fits their schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into busy or changing lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
