About
As a therapist, I believe building a strong therapeutic alliance is key to progress.
Jaceline Celestin is a Licensed Master Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples who are working through relationship issues, divorce, dating, parenting challenges, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, ADHD, trauma, grief, and LGBTQ+ issues.
Jaceline hopes to provide a therapeutic space where individuals, couples, families, or groups feel empowered to make changes in their lives and relationships. In order to help clients reach their therapeutic goals, she utilizes methods including narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while placing an emphasis on solutions-focused approaches, as well. Jaceline is also trained in mind-body medicine techniques, such as deep breathing, art therapies, and meditation.
Jaceline knows that it takes courage to acknowledge that certain behaviors or ideas no longer benefit us or our relationships. As a counselor, she'll help you see that the silver lining is that we have the power to change our lives. She believes that the past does shape us—but the road to our future can take us wherever we want. Therapy is about empowerment and growth without judgment or labels. Jaceline is excited to hear your story and is equally excited to help you reach your therapeutic goals. As a therapist, she believes that building a strong client-counselor alliance is key to progress, and will help create an individualized treatment plan that suits your needs.

As a Registered Nurse and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognize how stress, anxiety and depression can be affected by an acute or chronic illness.
I’m an RN and LCSW with experience in community mental health, medical social work, and group therapy. I work with adults 18+ and seniors 65+ who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, or simply need a supportive place to talk things through. I also provide therapy to those in the medical field, experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. I am especially interested in clients facing eating disorders, grief and loss as well as looking at career change.
Clients describe me as approachable, caring, and practical. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your story without fear of judgment. I use CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, SFBT, solution focused brief therapy as well as a strengths based approach in therapy. I believe healing starts with being heard. In our sessions, you’ll have space to tell your story, share what brought you to therapy, and explore new perspectives.
My style is collaborative and supportive — I’ll help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, practice practical coping skills like journaling and mindfulness, and problem-solve to create realistic solutions for your future. I became a therapist after working as an RN for many years. I realized that I was interested in exploring a client's back story regarding stress. I am a dog lover, and also enjoy going to the gym, and watching documentaries.

From personal and professional experience, I have found that the more transparent and truthful you are to yourself, the easier it is to work through issues and find peace.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion lies in helping people identify barriers to personal growth, improve emotional balance, and enhance their overall well-being. I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, life transitions, and communication difficulties in relationships.
I earned a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and focused on teaching practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives. I believe in open, honest communication and often provide exercises between sessions to reinforce the skills we explore together.
Our first session will be a welcoming introduction where I get to know you, your background, and your goals. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can freely express yourself. Together, we’ll work toward identifying what’s standing in your way and build a path toward stability, success, and a more fulfilling life, one step at a time.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in DBT therapy is to explain the benefits and give an overview of some tools they will be learning, such as emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, radical acceptance, and mindfulness. I find the best benefit is finding a tool that works for the client, and once they start using the tool, they can see the benefit.
One of the main tools I teach in DBT is mindfulness. Mindfulness is teaching the client to stay in the present moment, recognizing they have no control over things that happened in the past but they can learn from them; worrying about the future increases anxiety and wastes time. The only control a person has is in their current surroundings. I teach the importance of recognizing your surroundings to help slow down your brain and concentrate on the present.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they share that their anxiety has decreased — less racing thoughts and “what if” statements — and is progressing toward their goals.
Clients can supplement their time in DBT by reading books or listening podcasts about DBT.
To prepare for their first DBT session, an individual just needs to be open-minded to trying new tools.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in West Palm Beach, FL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
