Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ana Ortiz draws on evidence-informed approaches to support people through stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and helps people understand and change patterns of closeness, trust, and separation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients a supportive space to explore their values, goals, and emotions while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns.

Determining the right approach is part of the work together. Ortiz partners with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods over time so therapy feels useful and aligned with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit a busy life or different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and try different formats to see what works best for each individual.
