About Catalina
Catalina Ortiz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and blended family issues. She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She describes work in therapy as practical and direct. Catalina helps people identify what is getting in the way, learn skills to manage stress and anxiety, and reorder routines that no longer fit. Sessions also cover communication problems, body image, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of life changes.
Her approach uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she helps people test new ways of thinking, notice unhelpful patterns, and set small goals that can be tried between sessions. She tends to offer concrete tools rather than long theory talks.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on skills that apply to everyday life. Catalina highlights practical steps for managing difficult moments, improving communication, and handling transitions in blended households. She also integrates culturally aware perspectives from prior work with diverse populations.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Brief, practical exercises are used to change patterns that increase anxiety or depress mood. This approach often fits concerns like stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and body image.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to increase awareness of the present moment. These techniques can help when strong emotions, caregiving strain, or grief make it hard to think clearly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catalina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting plans when needed.
