About Celena

Dr. Celena Heine is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also supports people navigating ADHD, substance issues, relationship strain, and life transitions.

With a calm, respectful approach, she focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions. She uses a mix of methods to match a person's needs rather than one fixed approach. That can include exploring patterns in close relationships, using goal-focused exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and practicing skills for emotional regulation.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the concerns someone brings and their everyday life demands. Dr. Heine holds a PhD in psychology and has seven years of professional experience as a clinician.

Her clinical background includes work with trauma, grief, addiction, and parenting stress, and she blends teaching with hands-on coaching. She explains techniques plainly and checks in on how they’re working. People looking for help with attachment issues, codependency, impulsivity, or sleep problems will find the approach practical and relational.

She pays attention to how past relationships affect present patterns and to small changes that build better routines. Progress is tracked through concrete goals and regular review. Her practice supports a broad range of concerns such as compassion fatigue, body image, dissociation, and grief.

Sessions are offered in English and organized to fit each person’s schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships shape patterns today. It helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviors and how to build more supported ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, giving space to be heard while the therapist follows the client's pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses short exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they set practical goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn’t.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
