Hello! I am looking forward to working with you through BetterHelp to reach your goals!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of West Florida. I have a passion for working with people of all ages, to include adolescents, adults, and the aging population. I have been fortunate enough to work in a variety of settings that have allowed me to grow my skills working with these different age groups. I have spent many years working with adolescent girls and young women in building self-esteem, healthy coping and communication skills, and building healthy relationships. I have experience working with adults who are having difficulty navigating interpersonal relationships or struggling with anxiety, depression, and adjustment to life changes. I am also uniquely experienced to particularly work with individuals who have advanced-stage cancer diagnoses, as I have a background in Oncology, and individuals with chronic illnesses. Additional populations I enjoy working with are those who identify as LGBTQIA+, active duty military, and veterans.
My therapeutic style is warm, encouraging, trauma-focused, and person-centered. You are the expert, and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to new awareness, skill-building, and goal attainment. I typically approach sessions with a Solution-Focused Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy style. Depending on the specific needs of the client, I may utilize other modalities. I enjoy implementing mindfulness and reflective techniques where appropriate, and I enjoy helping my clients implement holistic practices into their lives in addition to therapy. I incorporate expressive and narrative therapy techniques as creative ways to engage clients. I want to create opportunities that allow my clients to build upon the strengths they inherently have but sometimes struggle to recognize.
I am constantly seeking new opportunities to learn new techniques and further my own education so that I can better serve my clients. The therapeutic relationship is vital to our success, and it is my responsibility to continually hone my skills so I can stay fresh on what benefits people the most. I look forward to working with motivated, engaged individuals who want to take steps in a positive direction but may need some help taking the first one!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ana always makes me feel heard and valued
Great
Ana is always a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos going on in my daily life - she helps me to see things differently and problem solve areas of my life where it’s hard for me to see solutions. I greatly appreciate the sessions!
Ana is wonderful and always makes me see a different perspective while still feeling validated for my feelings!
Ana is super supportive and talking to her has a way of easing all stress from very heavy days.
I've tried other counselors, but I always come back to Anasuya. She responds quickly and thoughtfully to my questions and concerns over text, and our video sessions are fruitful. I feel like she genuinely cares and is good at her job. She's always professional, yet personable at the same time, and always understanding of me and my concerns. I highly recommend her.
Ana is a great mix of honest, funny, and direct. I look forward to our sessions and walk away with a plan of what to work on in line with my goals.
Talking with Ana is like talking to a friend, but with a better insight on emotions than I could even begin to be like. I appreciate her promptness when I have questions. I am only in the beginning stages of counseling, but I feel a little better every time.
Ana has a relaxed but engaging counseling style which makes for comfortable, low stress counseling sessions. She is adaptable and seems genuinely interested. Would definitely recommend her.
I love that she listens to me. I love the fact that even if I haven't talked to her in awhile she picks up where we left off so I dont have to feel like I'm repeating myself. She helped me so much the first few times that we spoke and really made a difference in my life. I would recommend her or better help to anyone in need.
Anasuya Gutierrez was very kind and informative when it came to the sessions. This was my first time using BetterHelp, so I’m glad I was able to talk to her. It was easy to speak to her, and process the information that she gave.
Really enjoy my sessions with Anasuya. She’s very caring and helpful.
I’ve never done therapy before but I can say that I love her already and have no regrets on taking this step. Very thankful, she helps me and gets me and we get along so over all perfect.
She's an amazing counselorand really helps with getting to the core of the problem. She gives advice in a way that will help you figure out how to find a solution to the problem.
