Dr. Celena Heine, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Celena

Dr. Celena Heine is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical support for parents and people managing stress around family life. She speaks plainly and works to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.

Her approach centers on understanding what matters most to each person and building steps that fit real life. She uses a mix of methods rooted in attachment work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change patterns that cause distress.

Background and approach

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps rebuild safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavior changes to shift mood and functioning. Dr.

Heine also draws on client-centered practices to keep sessions grounded in the client’s priorities. That means conversations focus on what the client wants to work on, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Mindfulness skills and some elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used when mood regulation or strong emotions become barriers.

She has seven years of professional experience as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - practicing in Florida. Sessions are offered in English. Online options include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents can choose what fits their schedule.

Starting typically begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Dr. Heine aims to tailor the work to each person’s situation and to help create small, manageable changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change reactions that cause conflict or distress. Online sessions can use conversation and exercises to rebuild trust and safer ways of relating over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift them. In remote sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts together and setting small practice tasks between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment work, CBT, client-centered methods, or a mix makes the most sense based on needs and goals. That choice can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more like an in-person session, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide options for busy days or brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit care into parenting schedules and everyday routines, and they let therapists and clients try different ways of staying connected as work moves forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
