Her work focuses on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.

Celeste often addresses issues that show up as fear of abandonment, attachment struggles, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She can discuss concerns related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way.
Her style is straightforward. She lays out small, concrete exercises and checks progress each session. Work may include tracking thoughts, behavior experiments, and learning emotional regulation techniques drawn from emotionally-focused and existential ideas.
Clients can expect clear explanations of methods and a focus on practical next steps. Celeste draws on long experience to explain why a pattern keeps happening and what to try instead. To begin, people use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online work
Celeste uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses in everyday situations. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as thought records and behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach noticing thoughts without getting pulled into them, and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns that shape how people respond to others. ACT supports values-based action, while attachment work helps map where patterns began and how to change them now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review a person’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The decision about which approach to use is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.
