About Celena
Celena Benjamin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC and LCMHC, with 27 years of experience in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting problems, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, and addiction. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is interactive and practical. She begins by looking at how a person currently copes, what strengths they have, and where boundaries might be needed. Sessions use listening and focused questioning to keep work directed toward clear goals. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of reacting, and build skills that make everyday life easier.
Celena draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to help people change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, client-centered methods, and mindfulness exercises where they fit the goals. Work can include action plans, skills practice, and problem-solving around relationships or parenting demands.
She highlights making changes in the environment when needed to support progress. That can mean new routines, communication strategies, or boundary-setting at home or work. The tone is direct and goal-focused, with practical next steps offered each session.
Celena accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. People who want structured, skill-based work to reduce distress or manage behaviors may find this style helpful.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Celena commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values and life goals.She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client’s experience, and may add DBT skills or mindfulness exercises when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. These approaches help with anxiety, mood problems, trauma recovery, ADHD-related challenges, relationship issues, and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That choice can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
