Christina Ortiz-Marquez

Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with concerns like relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Christina brings 17 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses plain tools and teachable skills so people can try changes between sessions. Mindfulness practices and straightforward exercises are part of how she supports calmer thinking and steadier emotions.

Christina draws from several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and move toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for breaking unhelpful thoughts and habits. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on connection and communication problems.

She has particular experience supporting first responders and survivors of sexual assault, and she helps people who struggle with attachment or communication wounds. Over her career she has focused on building resilience and practical coping skills for everyday life changes.

Sessions are offered in English in Colorado. The practice aims to help people find clearer ways to handle stress and rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships.

How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Christina commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and physical sensations so people can respond with more calm rather than react out of habit. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard, which can be useful for depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as people learn new skills and try them between sessions.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, not needing extra travel time, or choosing a meeting style that feels comfortable. Therapists and licensed professionals often find online work supports consistent practice, skill-building between sessions, and steady momentum toward goals.
