Cira Mozos Ansorena, AASW

Cira Mozos Ansorena is an AASW-accredited social worker who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on seven years of experience in mental health to offer calm, practical support. Cira writes in a warm, direct way and aims to make therapy straightforward for people seeking change.

She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits, helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, manageable changes. Sessions tend to centre on clear tools and gentle reflection rather than abstract theory. Cira emphasises strengths and works collaboratively so people feel heard and understood while they try new ways of coping.

Her background includes work as a psychotherapist, a counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, and accreditation with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). She also leads Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs, delivering an eight-week course that builds attentional and emotional skills.

Cira uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed methods. She adapts these to each person, combining problem-solving with emotional understanding. The aim is to make progress steady and realistic.

People come to Cira for support with trauma and abuse recovery, low self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns, multicultural or immigration-related stress, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. She also helps those dealing with caregiver strain, communication problems and searching for greater life purpose.

How Cira's approaches suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, stress and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical experiments to shift them, which can reduce symptoms of depression and obsessive behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions, helping people improve communication and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels doable. Together they adjust methods over time, trying different techniques until something fits the client's needs and life circumstances.

The practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify session formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. If a person prefers in-person or a particular online format, they should confirm current options when scheduling so sessions match their routine and technical comfort.
