About Christina
Christina Ortiz-Marquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and anger. She focuses on practical skills that help people manage strong emotions and feel steadier day to day. Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to help clients build clearer communication and stronger coping habits.
Christina uses straightforward therapies to help people reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in themselves.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work to change harmful patterns and attachment-based ideas to repair difficult relationship dynamics. Sessions look at what currently causes distress and what small steps can ease it. She has long experience assisting first responders and people who have survived sexual assault, guiding them toward safer routines and better boundaries.
Christina also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating struggles, and burnout from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her sessions mix practical skill-building with reflective conversation. People practice new ways of responding to anger, tackle unhelpful thoughts, and try experiments between sessions to see what helps.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals. Christina works with adults in Colorado and conducts therapy in English. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick the format that fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Christina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and take action based on personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making steady life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early connection patterns affect current relationships. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way with partners or loved ones and practice healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is seen. Clients are invited to give feedback so care matches their preferences and life circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer work and skill practice, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules.
