How Celestina blends therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build practical skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger and eating-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and strategies to regulate emotion and increase self-compassion, which can support recovery from trauma, improve self-esteem and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a registered professional, Celestina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy with Celestina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities and international clients. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and access support from wherever a client is located.
