About Christina
Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also supports people facing addictions, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and the stress of life changes.
Her style is direct and caring. She listens first and then works with each person to set practical goals.
How Christina works
Sessions mix skill-building with emotional reflection. The aim is to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Christina draws on several well-known approaches to match what each person needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on connection and communication issues.
She brings experience with first responder issues and with survivors of sexual assault and abuse, helping people rebuild safety and trust in their lives. Her work often focuses on communication problems and attachment difficulties that underlie many relationship challenges. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Christina uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps a person name what matters and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to change feelings and behavior; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and communication to improve connection and reduce repeating problems in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Christina will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let a person use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick skill practice, between-session check-ins, or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit care into a busy life while keeping focus on the same therapeutic tools used in person.
