Dr. Celena Heine, LMHC

Dr. Celena Heine is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She focuses on building respectful, sensitive connections with each person and tailors conversations and plans to fit individual needs. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support through that process.

With seven years of professional experience, she draws on a mix of therapy styles to address practical problems and emotional pain. Sessions often center on understanding relationships and attachment patterns, reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life, and developing skills for coping with intense feelings.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. That means conversations are collaborative, focused on your goals, and include hands-on strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts or behaviors.

She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to teach emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. These tools can help with impulsivity, sleep difficulties, addictive behaviors, and overwhelming stress.

People come for support with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, grief, low self-esteem, and complications from family of origin. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, dissociation, and codependency when they appear in someone’s story.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships affect current feelings and behavior. It focuses on building trust and improving communication in close relationships, which can ease anxiety and problems with intimacy.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and follows your lead, helping you clarify what matters and make choices that fit your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed method.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use skill-building exercises and between-session tasks that support progress in everyday life.
