About Celina

Celina Hernandez- Ramirez is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and changes in motivation and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, recognizing clients as experts in their own lives and working alongside them to challenge limiting beliefs and build greater confidence and resilience. Her practice includes support for mood concerns such as depression and grief, coping with trauma and abuse, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She also addresses a wide range of life circumstances including adoption and foster care matters, multicultural and immigration-related issues, caregiver stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and postpartum difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to better meet diverse needs and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients identify their own strengths and values; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying goals, and increasing confidence. The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship patterns and practical communication skills to reduce conflict and strengthen connection, often used for couples wanting to improve how they relate to each other. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation to make changes such as improving coping, managing ADHD-related challenges, or addressing substance use or health behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to select or blend methods that match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to share what matters most to them so the therapist can tailor sessions and adjust techniques over time to improve fit and effectiveness.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments. These formats support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow for different ways of communicating as needs change, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or written check-ins between sessions.
