02 · In Cecelia's own words

What Cecelia says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience in Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief, and self-esteem issues.

I offer a compassionate, holistic approach that addresses diverse concerns including social anxiety, isolation, life transitions, workplace stress, and personal growth. My therapeutic style honors each individual's unique journey, with particular expertise in supporting women, couples, caregivers, and older adults experiencing midlife transitions.

My work focuses on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication, and cultivate resilience. I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore personal challenges, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.

Whether you're struggling with relationship difficulties, navigating life changes, or seeking personal growth, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

03 · How Cecelia works

The 1 approach Cecelia lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Cecelia lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Cecelia's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Cecelia runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Cecelia practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Cecelia's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Cecelia at this point.

2. Naming Cecelia specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Cecelia is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Cecelia.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Cecelia

Built from what Cecelia actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Cecelia's - Cecelia has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 25 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Cecelia's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Cecelia. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
