01About Christina
Christina Ortiz-Marquez helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with addictions, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and big life changes. Christina is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - practicing in Colorado with 17 years of experience.
Her style is direct and respectful. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Christina uses a mix of proven methods to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to reduce suffering and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Attachment-based perspectives guide work on trust, closeness, and communication problems. Christina has a long history supporting survivors of sexual assault and first responders, and she brings that experience into everyday therapy work. She pays attention to how culture and background shape reactions and coping.
The goal is steady progress and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. People can expect a warm, focused approach that balances empathy with practical steps. Christina helps clients practice new interactions, try small experiments, and track what works.
Over time the aim is improved relationships, calmer days, and better self-care.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more useful ones; it helps with anxiety, depression, and problems that get in the way of daily life. ACT combines mindfulness with values-based action, teaching people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections and communication. That approach can help when people struggle with trust, closeness, or recurring relationship patterns. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan if something is not working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists observe tone and expressions for richer feedback. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions provide ongoing connection between meetings and can fit around work or caregiving schedules. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
