Felicita Ortiz

You may look capable and strong on the outside while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to quiet your mind. Perhaps painful experiences from the past still affect your relationships, confidence, or sense of safety. I’m a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping adults work through anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. My style is warm, compassionate, practical, and deeply respectful of each person’s story. I offer online therapy throughout Florida and can incorporate spirituality or faith when it is meaningful to you.

I use an integrative, evidence-informed approach that works with both the mind and the body. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness, EFT-informed strategies, and somatic techniques. We look at the thoughts, emotional patterns, past experiences, and physical reactions that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we build practical tools to calm the nervous system, understand triggers, process painful experiences, strengthen self-trust, and respond to life with greater confidence. Spirituality can also be integrated when it is important to you.

Your first session is a welcoming space to talk about what has been weighing on you and what you would like to change. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, important experiences and patterns, your current symptoms, strengths, and goals. I’ll also begin helping you understand what may be contributing to what you’re feeling. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of where to begin and the direction we can take together. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and hopeful that meaningful change is possible.
