Chelsey Diaz, LMSW

Chelsey Diaz is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT and multicultural stressors. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Chelsey aims for a calm, open space where people can speak without judgment. She often works with teens and young adults and focuses on multicultural issues, especially in the Latinx community. She tries to schedule sessions at times that fit clients' lives, including evenings and weekends when possible. Her approach blends practical, goal-focused work with attention to underlying patterns. That can mean using client-centered conversations to uncover what matters most, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused steps to test small changes. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives inform how she talks about motivation and past influences when helpful. Chelsey draws on eight years of hands-on experience in social work settings. She asks questions, listens carefully, and helps people set small, reachable goals for daily life. The focus is on practical steps that make life feel more manageable. If someone is considering therapy, Chelsey encourages taking the first step and will work to match times and approaches to the person's needs. She communicates in English and Spanish and tailors sessions to each person’s situation.

How Chelsey’s approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time and checks in to see what is helping and what needs to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Chelsey aims to arrange sessions at times that fit everyday life and offers evening and weekend times when possible. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy is more practical for busy days.
