About Jessica
Jessica Ortiz, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), holds licenses in California and Texas and has 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy struggles, and work-related stress. She also addresses ADHD, grief, anger, career transitions, and family-related problems.
Ortiz works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. She combines practical skills with conversational exploration to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her practice pays attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and control issues. She also helps people coping with divorce or separation, domestic violence aftermath, abandonment, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions may include skill-building for managing anxiety and mood, paced reflection on past relationships, and brief experiments to test new behaviors. Conversations often focus on concrete steps - for example changing a communication habit or practicing grounding techniques for panic.
She offers services in English and Spanish. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and helps people notice and change repeated interaction cycles. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, trust, and family of origin concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects back what is said, and supports self-directed insight. This style is useful for building self-esteem and processing emotions like grief or emptiness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include skill practice, such as breathing exercises, thought records, or behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and boost mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks, and let people choose whether to use video or other supported formats. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with sessions and practice skills between meetings.
