About Celina
Celina Fajardo is a licensed clinical social worker in California with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or feeling stuck with low self-esteem or depression. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday skills to reduce stress and manage anxiety.
Background and approach
Conversations also address grief, motivation, and rebuilding confidence after life changes. Celina works alongside clients to set realistic goals and practice small, achievable changes. She listens without judgment and offers straightforward strategies to cope with difficult emotions.
The work often includes building healthier routines and improving communication habits. Clients may explore feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation and learn ways to move forward. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, separation and divorce, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Progress is paced to each person’s comfort level. Celina uses her clinical experience to guide practical problem solving rather than quick fixes. She emphasizes steady, usable tools that can be applied between sessions.
The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more confidence to face everyday challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Celina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, behavioral planning, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These strategies aim to reduce day-to-day distress and increase confidence in managing anxiety.Another approach centers on grief and loss work, helping people name and process painful feelings while finding ways to carry on with meaningful routines. This can include remembering what matters, rebuilding motivation, and creating small rituals that support healing. Both approaches are applied in straightforward, goal-focused sessions rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. Therapy can shift over time as needs change, and Celina will check in about what is working and what needs adjustment.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows for a face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
