About Catalina Ortiz
Catalina approaches emotional challenges as opportunities for growth, emphasizing that experiencing a range of emotions is a normal part of being human and can lead to greater self-understanding. She offers supportive, non-judgmental guidance while encouraging clients to draw on their own strengths and develop practical tools to address what is affecting them in the present.
Believing that therapy should be tailored to each individual, Catalina collaborates with clients to find approaches that fit their unique situations rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Her interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy and psychological astrology, all used to address relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem and body image, stress and anxiety, grief and depression, and caregiver issues.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Catalina Ortiz
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve coping. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with everyday coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, offering tools for emotional regulation, stress management and improving self-esteem. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and separates the individual from the problem, helping reframe experiences and explore identity, relationships and meaning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catalina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to tailor care. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in shaping their treatment.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain continuity when circumstances change. These options allow for different communication styles and quick check-ins between sessions, supporting consistent progress toward goals.
