Therapy and Nutrition Counseling in Austin, Texas

Hello! I’m Cecelia Ortiz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Texas State University. My background in behavioral health and experience facilitating IOP groups have shaped my holistic approach to therapy. I recognize that our emotional, psychological, social, and environmental experiences are interconnected and can all influence our well-being.

​

I believe mental health support extends beyond the therapy room. I’m passionate about helping clients connect with community-based resources, peer support, and practical tools that can reduce barriers, strengthen resilience, and support long-term well-being.

​

My goal is to create a warm, safe, and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. I use trauma-informed, strengths-based approaches that honor your unique experiences and prioritize your voice throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we’ll explore evidence-based strategies that balance acceptance and change, helping you build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful growth.

​

As a visual learner myself, I love breaking down therapeutic concepts with clients in ways that feel collaborative, relatable, and practical. Together, we use visuals, creative resources, and real-life examples to connect what we explore in therapy to everyday life. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I want clients to feel like we are working together to better understand their experiences and find tools that feel meaningful and useful to them. My hope is that you leave each session with a deeper understanding of yourself and practical tools you can carry with you beyond the therapy room.

 

When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me hanging out with Eli, my cat, seeing the latest movie, browsing bookstores, or enjoying a quiet day of rest.
