Dr. Celena Heine

Dr. Celena Heine greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, or struggles with intimacy and relationships.

Her sessions are practical and person-centered. She listens first, then works with each client to build a plan that fits their life and goals. Conversations are shaped to suit where someone is right now, whether they need short-term coaching or ongoing support for deeper issues.

Dr. Heine uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and client-centered practices. She uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and build healthier ways of relating to others and themselves.

She has particular experience supporting those dealing with trauma or abuse, addiction and substance concerns, attention and impulse challenges, and family-of-origin struggles. She also helps with parenting stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Her style aims to be respectful and direct. People can expect clear goals, practical tools, and gentle accountability. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships; online sessions can help people notice patterns and practice new ways of relating in the context of day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress, which fits well with homework and short skill-building between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress in the moment.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during transitional periods. It can also support shorter problem-focused visits or regular weekly sessions depending on what someone needs and what the therapist offers.
