Cira Mozos Ansorena, AASW

Cira Mozos Ansorena is a counsellor and social worker with seven years in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and anger. She aims to make conversations simple and practical so people can take small steps forward.

Her sessions focus on listening first and building clear goals together. She uses tools from several well-known approaches to help people manage emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking and find more meaning in day-to-day life. Cira encourages attention to strengths the client already has and small, actionable changes that fit real life.

Cira brings both counselling and social work perspectives to her practice as an Accredited Social Worker (AASW). She also runs Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction groups, an eight-week program that teaches attention and emotion skills. That group work complements one-to-one conversations.

People who meet her often work through issues such as attachment difficulties, multicultural concerns, caregiver stress, and midlife crisis questions. She also supports those dealing with obsessive or compulsive thoughts, intellectual disability, autism spectrum concerns and immigration stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and Cira works with a mix of practical techniques and reflective listening. She aims to create a respectful, calm space where people can try out different ways of coping and discover what helps them live more comfortably.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, midlife questions and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can ease symptoms of depression and obsessive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at connection patterns from early relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be helpful for attachment concerns and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. That discussion guides which methods are used and how they are combined in sessions, so it remains a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm the current online session options before booking as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time, allowing short check-in sessions, or making it simpler to join from a quieter room. It also lets the therapist use worksheets, guided exercises and mindfulness practices during or between sessions to support change.
