Celia is awesome and has been a huge help to me on my journey to tackle the emotional and mental baggage I'd put off for so long. Her leading questions and suggested activities have really nudged me in the right direction, and I can hardly believe how much progress I've made in such a short time.
More about Celia
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working with clients for the past 4 years. I have aid clients when in crisis, I provide clients with case management services when resources are needed (i.e housing, educational, financial and parenting). I help clients manage some of the daily barriers that can cause destress on a person and those around them. My sessions are usually tailored to the client and their individual needs. I encourage the client at the beginning of treatment to be open and discuss what they want to obtain from treatment. I help and guide the client to identify most pressing goals and explore how to best work towards them. I help clients identify past traumas that might be affecting their current state and utilize psychodynamic interventions. I utilize different modality and approaches in my session. I use them according to where the client is and how they respond to it. I am respectful towards client’s cultures and how culture and family dynamics impact the client.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s amazing I love the input and that she really listens and helps find logical solutions to help issues and ways of thinking
Celia is very helpful and easy to talk to. I feel like she offers multiple ways of improving your cognitive behaviors and is patient when you fall back into old behaviors. I have become happier and confident since talking to Celia I would recommend her to anyone.
I've been seeing Celia for nearly 5 months now. She does a great job of honing on the right issues. I am a tough nut to crack - I do not easily share openly. She's able to dig into the right questions to get me to really think about the important steps I need to take for my mental health. She's great!
I love celia and her ability to talk to my wide variety of problems. She is very attentive and so helpful to me. It truly feels like I have a therapist and friend at the same time.
