About Celina
Celina Hernandez- Ramirez is a licensed clinical social worker in California who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of experience to sessions. She aims to make change feel doable and clear from the start.
She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and motivation. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, trauma, caregiving stress, and life transitions.
Background and approach
ADHD is included among the concerns she lists. Her style centers on listening first and following each person's goals. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them notice strengths they may be overlooking.
Conversations are meant to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. Therapy may include short-term problem solving as well as deeper work about patterns that repeat across relationships. She draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas alongside goal-focused tools to make therapy practical.
Elements of motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used to help people move from thinking about change to taking steps. Sessions can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging times that fit the client's schedule. Celina aims to create a supportive space where someone can try new strategies, process difficult events, and build clearer routines that support daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people name goals and use their own strengths to make changes; this can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to increase a person's readiness to change. It uses brief, practical conversations to resolve mixed feelings and to move from thinking about change to taking small steps; it is useful for motivation, habit shifts, and coping with overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and how to pace sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more adaptable to busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when less bandwidth is available, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or short focused exchanges. These options help clients fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
