Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi my name is Catalina, I am a mental health counselor, marriage and family therapist licensed in Florida with over 7 years of experience. I have worked in mental health clinics and private practice providing counseling, psychotherapy and psycho-education for adolescents, adults and elders with culturally diverse clients in Miami and Qatar.
I believe encountering emotional obstacles in life is not only what makes us human, but also what allows us to transform and grow into wiser individuals. As humans, we know emotions by contrast; we can only know what it is to be happy if we have ever experienced sadness. Therefore, if you are going through a difficult situation, remember you are in a moment of growth and you have in your power the opportunity of being enlightened. Let me accompany and guide you in the search for your inner strength and help you discover that the control of your life and emotions lays within you.
You are the expert in your life, hence my role as your therapist is to support and encourage you from a non-judgmental perspective. I will also help you discover useful resources that you can put into practice immediately to overcome what is affecting you.
Each and every one of us is unique, therefore therapy should also be a completely individual experience. There is no universal solution for every problem, so my priority is to discover what works for you and together find the right answers to achieve your goals. Some of the interventions I use are: Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Psychological Astrology.
I am here for you!

Catalina Ortiz is a Florida-based mental health counselor who brings 12 years of professional experience to her clinical work. She has practiced in both mental health clinics and private practice, offering counseling, psychotherapy and psycho-education to adolescents, adults and older adults. Her clinical work has included culturally diverse populations served in Miami and in Qatar.
Ortiz views emotional struggles as part of the human experience and as opportunities for growth and greater self-understanding. She encourages clients to see difficult moments as periods of development and aims to guide them toward their own inner strengths so they can regain a sense of control over their emotions and life.
Working from a non-judgmental stance, she partners with clients who are considered the experts in their own lives, providing support, encouragement and practical resources that can be applied right away. Therapy is tailored to each individual because Ortiz believes there is no single solution that fits everyone; her priority is discovering what works for each person and collaborating to reach therapeutic goals.
Her therapeutic approach includes evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy, and she also integrates psychological astrology when appropriate for the client. She is licensed to practice in Florida as a mental health counselor, credentialed under MH14381.
She is available to accompany clients through relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, issues of self-esteem, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, grief, depression, and LGBT-related matters.
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. It can be a practical option for addressing these types of issues.
A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can meet with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs and schedule – whether through video sessions, phone calls, live chat or in-app messaging. This variety of communication methods makes it easier to include therapy in a busy life.
All clinicians offering online care are licensed professionals, and people may switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many, online therapy provides an accessible, adaptable way to get help for everyday mental health concerns.
