About Chelsea
Chelsea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and has worked in settings that include an eating disorders center and an inpatient psychiatry unit. That range of work exposed her to both individual and group care, and to people coping with chronic mental illness and addictions. Her background informs a flexible approach to different concerns.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to build a respectful working relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools to teach specific skills for managing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Conversations will be practical and geared toward day-to-day change rather than abstract theory.
Chelsea lists midlife crisis among the areas she focuses on, along with topics like grief, parenting strain, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, bipolar and depression, career stress, and relationship issues. She also notes work with the LGBT community and a variety of interpersonal and identity-related concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and Chelsea practices in Maryland. If a reader wants to begin, the usual next step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How Chelsea's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on the relationships people have with others and with themselves, helping them notice patterns that affect current stress and closeness. It can be useful for issues like intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship communication.Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help people find their next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches specific tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to figure out what methods and goals fit best, and she adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions where video is optional, which can be helpful on busy days. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on skills, problem-solving, and talking through life transitions without requiring extra travel.
