About Claudia
Claudia Ortega is a bilingual licensed therapist based in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works in English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem struggles, depression, and compassion fatigue. Claudia emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation so people can start feeling steadier sooner.
She believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening approach. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Claudia uses mindfulness and acceptance ideas to help people notice what matters and act on it. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, immigration-related stress, and first responder concerns.
These areas shape how she tailors each session to the person in front of her. Claudia draws from several therapy styles to fit what each person needs. She uses client-centered conversation to build trust, motivational techniques to identify goals, and psychodynamic ideas when patterns from the past affect current life.
Together these approaches help with both immediate relief and longer-term change. Sessions are offered in multiple formats so people can choose what fits their routine. Claudia aims to make starting therapy straightforward and respectful, and she guides each person through the early steps of the process.
How Claudia’s approaches work online
Claudia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and values, then make practical choices that align with what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when avoidance is getting in the way of daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and building a trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and understood before moving into goal work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods and pacing so therapy matches the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family, or other responsibilities while still getting consistent support.
