About Celena
Celena Benjamin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 27 years of experience based in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, and other concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills rather than abstract talk.
Her approach is interactive and straightforward. She starts by learning how a person copes, what strengths they have, and where boundaries sit. Conversations include listening and focused questions to clarify goals. Together they build action plans that change daily routines and relationships.
Celena uses a mix of approaches when they fit the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to practice being present. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles help people notice what matters and take steps toward those values.
Skill-building is a major thread in sessions. She works on concrete skills like emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. The aim is to shift patterns in the environment as well as internal reactions so improvements last.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, fewer angry outbursts, better sleep, or steadier mood. Celena asks questions, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needs change. She invites practical steps and measurable changes rather than promises about outcomes.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of living the way someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and reactive patterns like anger by teaching different ways to respond.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work on skills between appointments and bring real-life examples from home or work into sessions for practice.
