Marie Ortiz-Emmanuelli, Therapist

Marie Ortiz-Emmanuelli helps patients develop clarity, emotional balance, and practical coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Serving patients across Texas, she provides individualized, compassionate mental health care through LifeStance Health for children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors. Her work supports individuals and families seeking therapy for anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and complex life transitions, with a steady focus on both emotional healing and real-world functioning. A core passion in Marie’s practice is working with families and caregivers navigating parental custody matters. She brings a thoughtful, clinically grounded approach to helping parents and children manage the emotional strain, conflict, and adjustment that often accompany custody transitions. Her work in this area emphasizes child-centered decision-making, emotional safety, and strengthening family communication during periods of uncertainty and change. Marie’s broader clinical focus includes anxiety disorders, ADHD, and PTSD/trauma, including concerns related to school avoidance, grief, and major life transitions. She incorporates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Family Therapy to help patients build emotional regulation skills, reduce distress, and improve relationships. In addition to these areas, she offers support for a wide range of mental health conditions and treatment needs. Marie has experience working with diverse populations, including individuals involved in adoption or foster care, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and military service members and veterans. Therapy services are available in Spanish. Outside of her clinical work, Marie enjoys gardening, cooking and baking, and taking outdoor walks; activities that reflect her belief in balance, patience, and personal renewal.
