Ana Budeguer, LMHC

Ana Budeguer is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, infidelity, jealousy, and caregiver stress. Ana speaks English and Spanish and draws on her background as someone born in Argentina to connect with immigrant experiences.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She aims to build an open space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current struggles and on developing workable steps forward.

Ana uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time. Somatic work brings attention to bodily responses linked to trauma and strong emotion.

She has extensive experience supporting people who’ve relocated or who are navigating cultural adjustment. That background informs how she frames coping strategies and communication skills. Ana emphasizes pacing the work so clients feel able to try new approaches between sessions.

People who reach out can expect a calm, respectful manner and practical tools to manage daily stress. Her goal is to support steady progress toward clearer relationships and a more manageable day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Many of her main approaches are easy to adapt to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often includes concrete homework and brief skill practice between meetings. Psychodynamic work looks at repeating relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings; this helps when sorting out long-running attachment and jealousy issues. Somatic Therapy adds attention to bodily signals and simple grounding practices to help manage intense emotion or trauma responses.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Session format specifics are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep brief check-ins when needed. It also allows a therapist to assign practical exercises that a person can do between meetings and then review them together to track progress.
