About Chelsey
She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns, including living in recovery and codependency. Relationship strain, motivation struggles, grief, anger, and bipolar-related challenges are also within her practice. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and blended family dynamics.
Chelsey uses approaches rooted in client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy, with elements of mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people identify small, actionable steps that fit their daily life. She keeps explanations plain and collaborative so goals feel realistic and achievable.
Her background centers on talk therapy skills developed over six years of practice. That experience informs how she helps people navigate life changes and recovery. Chelsey emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and supports people as they build new routines and choices.
Sessions take a straightforward, goal-focused tone while remaining warm and respectful. If you are looking to reduce anxiety, manage stress, work through relationship problems, or regain motivation, Chelsey offers practical guidance and steady support.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or identity concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and recommend methods that fit those goals. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively so progress feels manageable.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum between sessions while working toward life changes.
