About Celina
Celina Hernandez- Ramirez is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around parenting and relationships. She focuses on building confidence and motivation so clients can move past limiting beliefs and take practical steps toward change.
Background and approach
Celina speaks English and Spanish and draws on six years of clinical experience to tailor her approach to each person. Her work starts by listening closely to what matters to each client and identifying strengths that can be used right away.
Sessions often include goal-focused conversations and tools people can try between meetings. She aims for clear, doable steps rather than long lists of theory.
Celina uses a mix of approaches to match the needs of the person in front of her. She incorporates the Gottman Method for relationship communication, client-centered techniques to honor each person’s perspective, and motivational interviewing to support change.
She also draws from psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when those fit the goals. She has supported people facing trauma, grief, caregiving strain, immigration-related stress, postpartum issues, and life transitions.
Celina pays attention to cultural and family-of-origin factors when they affect how someone copes. Practical matters are simple: sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription-based service can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is handled after a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Celina commonly blends the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing in online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict by teaching clear, practical skills for conversations. Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, so sessions follow the person's goals and pace. Motivational interviewing helps people resolve uncertainty about change by building readiness and practical next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Celina will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for depth and body language, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, live chat works for quick focused conversations, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let clients keep progress going from different places and routines.
