I believe that prioritizing your mental health is a major key to a happy, fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but before I was a therapist I taught high school. Because of my background in education, I love working with young adult females who are struggling with identity, self-confidence, anxiety and depression.

Celia Cirello

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fort Myers

Finding family therapists in Fort Myers starts with identifying what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one individual. As you compare Fort Myers therapists, look for bios that describe experience with family counseling, child and teen concerns, parenting support, or relationship patterns.

In a smaller city like Fort Myers, the number of local family therapists with the exact specialty, schedule, and format you want may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you search for care in Florida. Family therapy may include the full family, caregivers and children, couples, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.

Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
