About Chelsea
Chelsea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and is credentialed as an LCSW-C. Early in her career she provided individual, family, and group therapy at a Center for Eating Disorders. She later worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting adults with chronic mental health and addiction concerns.
In outpatient work she focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with trauma-related issues including traumatic brain injury concerns, as well as relationship and intimacy-related struggles. Chelsea works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image and disordered eating, and other overlapping concerns.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and learn skills they can use between sessions. Sessions cover problem-solving, coping strategies, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
People who want steady, goal-oriented support tend to find her approach helpful. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Chelsea uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they connect with others and try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person in front of her. That approach focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own answers to problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skill sets for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will talk about goals and preferences, then recommend ways of working together. She adapts methods based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
If you prefer online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often combine skill teaching, thought work, and relational discussion in remote sessions to help people make steady progress while managing everyday life.
