About Catalina

LMHC in Florida with 12 years of experience, Catalina Ortiz focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and LGBT issues. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people build practical skills and clearer perspectives. Catalina speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Catalina frames therapy as a practical collaboration. She treats emotions as information and helps clients turn difficult moments into manageable steps. Sessions emphasize concrete tools - thought records, brief experiments, mindfulness practices, and narrative work - that people can use between meetings.

Her approach mixes short-term problem solving with attention to personal story. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear goals and track small changes. Narrative methods help people separate from unhelpful stories about themselves and see alternative ways to act and relate.

CBT and mindfulness are combined to address anxiety, stress, body image concerns, and low mood. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking and to practice calmer responses. Catalina also supports people facing blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and communication problems by teaching communication skills and realistic coping strategies.

Practical logistics are straightforward: she works as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and then try small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood by practicing specific exercises between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily responses without judgment and building calmer habits through short practices. It can support stress management, anxiety, and body image concerns.

Narrative Therapy works by separating people from the stories they tell about themselves and then testing alternative, more useful narratives. This can help with self-esteem, grief, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Catalina will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together you can adjust focus and techniques as you see what helps.

Session-format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They let therapists use worksheets, guided mindfulness, and behavioral assignments that clients can practice between sessions.
