Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Dr. Ortega offers remote appointments using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. These communication options are used to deliver the same clinical approaches she applies in her practice, adapted to the online setting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented as a skills-oriented approach that helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and considers alternatives. The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns and interaction skills are central to the work. Narrative Therapy invites exploration of the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and looks for ways to reframe those narratives.
She works collaboratively with each person to select one or a combination of these approaches based on their goals and preferences. Sessions can follow a structured, skills-focused path or emphasize reflective exploration of personal and family stories, and the chosen communication mode is matched to the client's needs.
