Cira Mozos Ansorena , AASW

Cira Mozos Ansorena works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, anger or depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on seven years working in mental health across Australia. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up. Cira is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) who also trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist. She uses a mix of approaches so sessions match what each person needs. That might include practical skills for managing difficult feelings or space to reflect on life changes. People meet a counsellor who focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Cira helps with problems such as attachment difficulties, obsessive thoughts, caregiver stress, and challenges linked to immigration or multicultural adjustment. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem and isolation. Her work includes mindfulness-based stress reduction programs and individual therapy. Mindfulness practice is used to build attention and emotional regulation over eight weeks in a group format, or adapted to one-to-one sessions. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Cira aims to help people notice patterns, try new responses and practise skills between sessions. She encourages a collaborative pace tailored to each person’s situation. Many clients appreciate a straightforward style that balances emotional understanding with concrete tools. The focus is on helping people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It uses practical exercises and behavioural steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems and obsessive thinking by teaching clear skills to change thinking patterns.

Cira will work collaboratively to pick the best approach based on a person’s needs and preferences. That might mean blending ACT and CBT, or using attachment ideas when relationships and closeness are central. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts methods so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in the day. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, reflective exercises or when writing helps someone organise thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
