Ana Budeguer , LMHC

Ana Budeguer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of professional experience. She supports individuals and families facing relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life transitions, offering care in both English and Spanish.

Born and raised in Argentina, Ana has lived in the United States for more than 20 years and brings deep experience working with immigrant communities. That background informs her understanding of the emotional and practical hurdles people encounter while adapting to life in a new country, including immigration-related stresses and family separation issues.

Ana emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that encourages honest expression of thoughts and feelings. She works with clients to create a welcoming space where exploration and change can begin, acknowledging that the first steps toward healing often require courage. Ana aims to empower people to build stronger connections, manage difficult emotions, and move toward a more fulfilling life while providing steady support throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ana often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused and Somatic approaches to address the concerns clients bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that affect mood, coping, and relationships, making it useful for navigating relationship conflicts and life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, offering structured support to people affected by trauma and abuse. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how stress or trauma may be held in the body, helping clients reconnect with physical experience and develop new ways to regulate stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ana works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts care over time as circumstances and priorities evolve.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for clients with busy schedules or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person while working toward meaningful change.
