About Celena
Dr. Celena Heine is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and professional coaching concerns. She also addresses relationship and family-related worries, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and struggles with self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her approach puts the client's experience at the center of sessions. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past bonds shape current relationships. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy inform work on emotion regulation and staying present when feelings are intense.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people set focused goals. Meetings often include skill practice, real-life problem solving, and reflection on patterns that keep causing trouble. For someone who repeatedly puts others first or feels stuck in people-pleasing habits, she helps notice those patterns and try different ways of responding.
Dr. Heine earned a PhD in Psychology and brings that background into a practical, down-to-earth process. She aims to balance thinking about past relationships with concrete steps for today. The work is collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to both feelings and everyday behavior.
Clients coming from substance use concerns, attachment wounds, or codependency patterns can expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and planning for next steps. She offers care in English to people located in Florida.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how earlier connections influence current behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify those patterns and plan different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online setting this often means setting small homework tasks, practicing skills between sessions, and checking progress together.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means discussing whether to focus more on attachment patterns, skill-building with CBT or emotional regulation tools from DBT and mindfulness.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, avoid travel time, and check in during shorter breaks. Some people prefer fewer on-camera sessions or shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others do full video meetings for deeper conversation. The focus is on making therapy practical and doable alongside everyday life.
