About Christina
Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Her work also includes support for addiction concerns, anger, eating issues, and compassion fatigue.
Christina shapes sessions around each person’s story and strengths. She listens first, then uses practical tools that match what someone needs right now. This often means learning new ways to manage strong emotions, improving communication, and rebuilding routines that support better rest.
Her background includes long-term work with first responders and survivors of sexual assault. That experience informs how she approaches trauma, attachment problems, and the specific challenges that can come from high-stress jobs. She aims to help people feel steadier and more in control of daily life.
In sessions she draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches guide practical strategies like values-based action, thought work, emotion regulation skills, and relationship-focused conversations.
Christina works from Colorado and conducts care in English. She encourages a collaborative pace so people can try tools, notice what helps, and change direction as needed. To start, she asks about goals and daily routines to tailor supportive steps toward better sleep and emotional balance.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, persistent worry, and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete strategies for sleep problems, depression, and anxious thinking through skill practice and behavioral experiments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals and daily routines, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if something doesn’t fit or if different skills are needed over time.

Licensed professionals can guide you in applying the same skills used in person to your everyday life, aiming to improve sleep routines, stress management, and relationship patterns without promising specific outcomes.
