01About Carlos
Carlos Ramos Ortolaza is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wisconsin. He holds an LPC and brings six years of clinical experience to his work. He offers sessions in English and Spanish.
Carlos focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and career challenges. Carlos started by listening first. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people make small, useful changes. He speaks plainly and keeps goals practical so progress is clear. In conversation he attends to how past experiences affect current reactions.
That can include issues tied to abandonment, attachment, and difficulties with trust or control. He also helps with relationship communication struggles, coping with impulsivity, and managing feelings of guilt or shame. For people with mood and bipolar concerns he works on routines, symptom management, and problem solving that fit daily life.
He also supports those dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress by focusing on skills that reduce overwhelm and improve functioning. Carlos aims to create a supportive space where clients can set concrete goals. He helps people clarify life purpose, navigate midlife transitions, and address money or career stress.
If someone prefers Spanish sessions, he can work in that language as well.

04Online support
Online approaches and how they fit your life
Therapeutic techniques used in sessions focus on practical, evidence-based tools that reduce symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach emphasizes skill building to manage anxiety and panic; sessions teach breathing and grounding techniques, step-by-step exposure to feared situations, and planning for moments of high stress. Another approach targets mood regulation for depression and bipolar concerns by creating daily routines, activity planning, and problem-solving steps to improve energy and functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there he and the client decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adapt them as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, and other commitments.
