About Carlos

Dr. Carlos D. Ortiz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience.

He combines formal training with life experience as a Marine Corps veteran, a father, and a former blue-collar worker. He speaks English and Spanish and offers sessions in multiple online formats. His work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD.

He also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, first responder stress, fatherhood, infidelity, jealousy, and other relational concerns.

Background and approach

He helps people who are juggling work, family, and the aftermath of difficult events. In sessions he aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. He draws from approaches such as Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Practical skills and real-life coping strategies are emphasized. He has worked with a wide variety of people across settings, and he also offers Bible-based pastoral counseling for those who prefer that perspective. He describes therapy as a collaborative process that asks for courage and active participation from the client.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are not accepted.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. Ortiz uses tools from the Gottman Method to look at patterns in relationships and to help people improve communication and connection. This approach focuses on concrete interactions between partners and practical exercises to reduce conflict and rebuild trust.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-guided action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where old avoidance patterns limit living well.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is seen and needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls are useful for full conversations and demonstrations of skills, phone sessions can fit a break at work or times with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
