Cely has felt like a good friend that just so happens to have skills in therapy. She has been so kind to me on my journey through therapy. This was my first time participating in therapy and she made me feel welcome and not silly. I would highly recommend Cely to others. Especially person who want to feel comfortable with being themselves.

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with about 8 years of experience working as a individual counselor and utilization review coordinator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse from with a wide range of ages starting at 4 to 90 years old.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, humanistic and behavioral modification counseling, amongst others specific to your needs. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.

Cely my has been very respectful and has shown great kindness and patience with me. She has taught me tools and reminded me of my strengths to help me navigate me.
Cely has felt like a good friend that just so happens to have skills in therapy. She has been so kind to me on my journey through therapy. This was my first time participating in therapy and she made me feel welcome and not silly. I would highly recommend Cely to others. Especially person who want to feel comfortable with being themselves.
From the moment I had my first session with Cely, I felt an immediate connection that I've never experienced with any therapist before. Cely creates an incredible space for me to openly express my thoughts and feelings, and it's clear that she actively listens and values what I have to say. What sets her apart is her genuine commitment to my well-being; she consistently demonstrates a deep care for my progress and even remembers the details we discussed in previous sessions. Her practice of taking notes during our sessions not only reinforces her attentiveness but also makes me feel truly heard and understood. Cely has been a remarkable source of support and guidance on my therapeutic journey.
She is honestly the best. I love talking with her and I love that comfortable and safe feeling I get when I talk to her. She listens to me and I love that she follows along with my erratic story telling
