About Cira
Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW-accredited social worker with seven years of mental health experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to suit a wider range of clients.
Cira aims to make therapy clear and practical. She uses plain language and listens first to understand each person’s story. She steers away from jargon and helps people find steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Narrative ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work. That means Cira pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and to how relationships shape coping. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.
Cira also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural skills when they fit the issue. She runs mindfulness-based stress reduction groups and brings those attentional skills into individual work. Practical tools, short exercises and gentle reflection are common parts of a session.
Clients who come for help with identity, belonging or migration concerns will find a practitioner experienced with multicultural and immigration issues. Cira also has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, loneliness, obsessive behaviours and neurodiversity-related challenges. Her tone in sessions is compassionate and collaborative.
She treats each person as the expert on their life and works with them to set realistic goals and small steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from avoidance. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, and helps re-author those stories to open space for different choices and identities. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotion and behaviour, which is useful for relationship difficulties, trust issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cira will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them along the way so the work fits the client’s pace and life circumstances.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and help maintain momentum between meetings.
