Dr. Celena Heine, LMHC

Dr. Celena Heine is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and aims to create clear, practical steps toward feeling better. Her style suits people who want straightforward support and a plan they can work on between sessions.

With seven years of clinical experience and a PhD in Psychology, Dr. Heine draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trust and collaborates with clients to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are included when helpful for managing mood, impulsivity, and difficult emotions.

Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her. That could mean learning skills to cope with anxiety, addressing substance use patterns, improving sleep and daily routines, or tackling relationship and attachment concerns. Dr. Heine also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs instead of following a one-size-fits-all program. Practical homework, skill practice, and short-term coaching are options when they match the client’s goals. The overall aim is clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and more reliable day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping the person lead the pace and topics of therapy, which can be useful for building trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches practical strategies for mood, anxiety, sleep, and addictive urges.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means methods may shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities rather than around commuting.
