Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem concerns, addictions, and other life challenges.

Christina focuses on each person's story and strengths. She listens for what matters most to the individual and builds practical next steps. Sessions are straightforward and geared toward clearer communication, better emotional regulation, and manageable day-to-day changes.
She brings particular experience supporting first responders and survivors of sexual assault, and often works on attachment issues and communication problems. That background informs how she helps people rebuild safety and trust after difficult events.
Her style blends acceptance-based approaches with cognitive and skills-focused strategies. She combines talk, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises so people can try new ways of handling stress and relationships. The goal is to strengthen resilience and improve how people relate to themselves and others.
Christina aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space where people can explore painful memories and current challenges. She supports each person in choosing goals and plans that feel doable in real life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting locked into them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low self esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often involves trying specific exercises between sessions to change patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape relationships and communication, and it can help people improve trust and closeness in current relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend approaches and evolve over time as needs change.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity while dealing with work or caregiving demands. It can also let people do short check-ins when a brief touchpoint is helpful or use tools like guided mindfulness practice between meetings. Licensed professionals aim to tailor pacing and homework to what works in everyday life.
