About Celina
Celina Hernandez- Ramirez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in California with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, and trauma and abuse. She also works with grief, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related life changes.
Celina takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths that matter. Sessions center on practical steps to reduce worry, improve communication, and rebuild confidence. Conversations are direct and aimed at small, usable changes people can try between sessions.
Her background includes working with people facing adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, attachment and family of origin problems, immigration challenges, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She brings experience addressing multicultural concerns and postpartum depression. That practical experience informs how she frames goals and plans next steps with each person.
In therapy she uses methods that match the person’s needs. She may focus on present solutions, explore underlying patterns, or use motivational techniques to boost follow-through. The work is collaborative: Celina helps people pick approaches that fit their situation and values.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish. For people in California considering work together, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first meeting.
BHow sessions work
How Celina’s approaches work in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the client. The therapist listens and reflects back concerns so people can clarify goals. This approach helps with self-esteem, parenting struggles, and deciding what to try next.The Gottman Method centers on communication and relationship skills. It breaks down common interaction patterns and teaches concrete techniques to reduce conflict and increase understanding. People use it when relationship communication is a main concern.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses short, guided conversations to boost motivation and plan small steps. This can be useful for career shifts, coping with burnout, or starting new routines.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Celina will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. She treats the process as collaborative and practical rather than fixed.
If you want online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, making shorter check-ins easier during a workday, or avoiding travel time. Talk with Celina about what will fit your routine and the best way to begin.
