About Christina

LPC in Colorado with 17 years of experience, Christina Ortiz-Marquez focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues. Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She works with people facing depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

She uses practical, skills-based methods and conversation to help clients manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and emotion regulation. Mindfulness and acceptance techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce avoidance.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and communication problems. Christina helps people identify long-standing patterns and try different ways of relating that can lower conflict and increase connection. She also has focused experience supporting first responders and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Christina describes a client-centered stance that treats the person, not just the problem. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a client’s life. The approach is collaborative and practical, with attention to skills that can be used between sessions.

People who choose her can expect straightforward goals and concrete tools alongside space to talk through difficult events. To book, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and habits like eating behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or attachment-focused work fits their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as sessions proceed so methods evolve with the client’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. Different approaches translate well to remote work: CBT assignments and DBT skills practice can be used between sessions, and attachment conversations can continue by video or phone when offered. Talk with the therapist during intake about which session style will work best for your situation and daily routine.
