Why Online Therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio?
Common Reasons Women in Cincinnati, Ohio Reach Out
Many of the women I work with are high-functioning and dependable—yet internally feel overwhelmed.
You may be:
Managing work, family, and responsibilities while feeling constantly on edge
Lying awake at night, replaying conversations and worst-case scenarios
Feeling pressure to “handle it” on your own
Exhausted from saying yes when you mean no
Quietly grieving a pregnancy loss that others don’t fully understand
Navigating infertility appointments while trying to keep life moving
If you’ve wondered whether your struggles are “serious enough” because you’re still functioning, this is a place where you don’t have to prove anything to deserve support.
I am Dr. Ana Baratta, a bilingual therapist helping women in Ohio move through anxiety, people-pleasing, trauma, infertility, and pregnancy loss. Most of my clients come in feeling like they've lost themselves — exhausted from carrying everyone else, grieving quietly, or stuck in anxiety they can't explain. Over time, they leave with clearer boundaries, a calmer nervous system, and a better sense of who they are outside of what they do for others.
With over 27 years of clinical and educational experience across El Salvador and the United States, I bring both cultural humility and clinical depth to our work. I understand how family expectations, faith, and identity can shape the way women carry responsibility — and how hard it can be to untangle that alone.
Think of therapy with me like this: you’re in the driver’s seat—you’re the expert in your life. I’m in the passenger seat, guiding you with evidence-based tools, helping you slow down, make sense of patterns, and move forward in a way that feels grounded. I’ll always prioritize safety and pace, and I’ll also challenge you when it’s needed—especially around people-pleasing, avoidance, or stuck cycles.

Therapy (Telehealth)
If you’re the one who “keeps it together” but feels anxious, drained, or stuck in overthinking and people-pleasing, therapy with me is a steady, caring space where you don’t have to perform or rush. I’m warm and direct, and we move at your rhythm—slowing down when your system needs safety and leaning in when you’re ready for change.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process distressing experiences that still feel “stuck” in your mind and body. I use EMDR in an integrated, flexible way—interweaving EMDR reprocessing with talking therapy when it’s helpful.

Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety can feel like a mind that won’t turn off—overthinking, tension in your body, worst-case scenarios, and difficulty resting even when life is “fine.” We’ll focus on nervous-system regulation, practical coping skills, and deeper processing so your body learns to feel safe again and your thoughts feel less controlling.

Developmental & Relational Trauma
Developmental and relational trauma can come from early family-of-origin wounds or later attachment breaks (betrayal, abandonment). Therapy helps you understand the patterns that formed for survival, regulate your nervous system, and build healthier, more secure relationships.

Pregnancy Loss Therapy
Early pregnancy loss often brings a unique kind of grief—quiet, confusing, and sometimes minimized by others. Therapy gives you space to name what happened, process the emotional impact, and move through the sadness, anger, or guilt with compassion—without rushing your healing.

Fertility Therapy
Infertility can create chronic stress, heartbreak, and a deep sense of uncertainty—especially when you feel like your life is on hold. In therapy, we support emotional regulation, self-compassion, and coping with triggers, while making room for grief, hope, and the choices you want to make moving forward.

My style is warm, steady, and trauma-informed. We focus on understanding the patterns that formed for good reasons—and gently shifting what no longer serves you.
-
Anxiety can feel like constant overthinking, tension in your body, and difficulty fully relaxing — even when nothing is technically wrong. In anxiety therapy, we look beneath the surface to understand what your nervous system is trying to protect and gently reduce patterns that keep you in survival mode.
-
People-pleasing often develops as a way to maintain connection and avoid conflict. Over time, it can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and loss of self. In therapy, we work on understanding where this pattern began and building boundaries with less guilt and more confidence.
-
Early relational experiences shape how we see ourselves and respond to stress. If you struggle with shame, hyper-responsibility, or fear of conflict, these patterns may have roots in developmental or relational trauma. Trauma-informed therapy and EMDR help process these experiences so they no longer define your present. description
