About Celena

Dr. Celena Heine offers individualized support for people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She greets each client with respect and compassion and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect the concerns and goals presented. With seven years of clinical experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she emphasizes collaborative work that meets clients where they are and moves at a pace that feels manageable.

Her practice also addresses issues such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, along with related experiences like abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and communication struggles. Dr.

Heine draws from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, DBT, and mindfulness practices to offer concrete skills alongside reflective exploration. She encourages clients to view therapy as a process of learning and growth and aims to provide steady support through change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Dr. Heine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as primary ways of working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through practical exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early relational experiences to improve emotional connection and reduce relational distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques and pacing to fit the client's needs so therapy becomes a shared project rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow work to continue from home or other convenient locations, enable frequent brief check-ins when useful, and make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
