Approaches to Healing Remotely and What They Mean

Christina Ortiz-Marquez uses approaches that help clients clarify values, understand relationships, and build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that align with their values - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, making it useful for attachment challenges, intimacy issues, and relationship repair. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their goals and strengthen self-directed growth.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility.
