About Celina
Celina Fajardo is a licensed clinical social worker in California with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and navigating big life changes. She aims to make starting therapy feel simple and doable for worried parents and busy adults.
She creates a calm space where clients can say what they are feeling without fear of being judged. Sessions focus on understanding what is getting in the way of daily life and finding practical steps to feel steadier.
How Celina works
Conversation is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes. Her work also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and the effects of guilt and shame. She helps people who feel isolated or unsure about their life purpose to clarify next steps and rebuild self-love.
Grief and loss are handled with attention to pacing and emotional safety. Celina partners with clients to set clear goals and to try approaches that fit each person’s needs. She supports people as they practice new ways of coping, speaking up, and making decisions.
Progress is tracked in straightforward ways so clients notice what’s working. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapist asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Celina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing thought patterns and practicing alternative responses. Another approach centers on gradual exposure to difficult feelings and pacing work during grief or when guilt and shame feel overwhelming; this helps people face painful emotions in manageable steps and regain daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. That means trying strategies, checking in on how they feel, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text can work well for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to access regular support and maintain momentum toward change.
