I love talking with Celia I think she does a great job listening to the concerns that I have and finding ways that can help. This month has been tricky finding time to schedule a zoom meeting just because I am so busy with school, however we are making due with the time I do have.
More about Celia

Hello, my name is Celia Gardner. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Wisconsin. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling, having graduated from Webster University in 2004. I am also a National Certified Counselor. I've been in the counseling field for 16 years, working in a variety of settings and with different age groups. A specific area of interest for me is working with adolescents and women, although I also have experience working with men and couples struggling to salvage their marriage. I have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Care and Adoption Competency. Additional areas of expertise include anger management and treatment for men (and women) who use violence in interpersonal relationships.
I recognize one of the most difficult things for someone going through depression, anxiety or history of trauma is to make that first move for help. Once that first step is taken, the next steps come a little bit easier.
I believe 80% of an individual's success in therapy is based on their relationship with the counselor. In my experience, I have been able to gain clients' trust and comfort level to enable a positive relationship and the ability to delve into their life's challenges.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have to help make a decision on a counselor.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Celia is a fantastic therapist. First and foremost, she listens very well and takes notes throughout the sessions you know she is paying attention. She's also very nonjudgemental, and takes feedback really well. You can speak your mind without having to worry about who's listening, which is one of the marks of a great therapist. I highly recommend her.
I love talking with Celia every week! I can really tell that talking with her helps me with my daily struggles. I also love having a third opinion on everything and someone who is neutral!
Celia is very professional, she really cares and listens to all of your concerns and will work with you in regards of schedule to help you the best.
She’s honestly the best! Nonjudgmental and compassionate, I adore her.
Celia is fantastic - she’s warm and kind and inquisitive in a way that puts you at ease. Highly recommend!
Celia has helped me through the hardest time in my life, I strongly recommend her and I am thankful for Better Help.
Celia makes counseling so easy. She's good at keeping the conversation going and she helps point out things that I hadn't even noticed about my concerns. She is very good at feeding positive thoughts and is a good listener.
