About Celena

Celena Benjamin is a licensed mental health counselor with 27 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, skills-focused approach that begins by identifying each person’s coping styles, strengths, and boundaries so therapy can build on what already works while addressing patterns that get in the way. Her sessions blend attentive listening with thoughtful questioning to keep goals clear and create actionable plans.

Techniques draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered methods to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, manage emotions, and support life changes. Celena emphasizes adapting the plan to fit an individual’s circumstances so changes in environment and behavior lead to meaningful improvements.

Practicing in Florida with credentials as an LMHC and LCMHC, she accepts clients internationally and offers a range of online session formats. The focus is on collaboration: tailoring treatment to specific needs and helping clients develop tools to heal, grow, and regain a sense of control and purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values; this can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which is useful for mood disorders, panic, and OCD. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that support emotion management and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques and pacing reflect what helps the individual make progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel. These formats allow regular contact and continuity of care while tailoring session style to what feels most effective for the client.
