About Adena
Adena Broxton-Gelin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Adena also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, co-morbidity, first responder concerns, forgiveness, and veteran and armed forces issues.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative process. Adena treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. Conversations are practical and focused on small, usable steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her work draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to teach skills, reframe unhelpful thinking, and manage strong emotions after trauma.
Adena’s background includes service in the U.S. Air Force followed by social work practice. That combination gives practical perspective on structure, routines, and the stresses of high-responsibility roles. Sessions aim to identify concrete coping strategies and improve communication patterns.
People who want clear tools and step-by-step progress often find this style useful. Adena focuses on measurable changes like reduced panic, steadier mood, clearer decisions, and improved day-to-day functioning. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for day-to-day situations.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can help when strong emotions, self-criticism, or communication breakdowns get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adena will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust techniques as progress is made so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often use structured skill practice and homework between meetings to keep momentum.
