About Chelsea
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016. Chelsea has worked in settings that include an eating disorders center and an inpatient psychiatry unit, where she supported adults with chronic mental health struggles and addictions. That mix of outpatient and inpatient experience informs her practical approach.
Chelsea focuses on building a collaborative relationship. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through immediate problems, learn coping skills, and try small changes that fit a person’s life. She uses a range of approaches and draws on what seems to help each person most.
People often bring concerns about anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep, body image, or relationship and intimacy issues. Chelsea also works with ADHD, grief, caregiver stress, career concerns, and struggles around identity and sexuality in LGBT clients.
Her style blends compassionate listening with clear, practical tools. She describes therapy as teamwork - the client sets goals and Chelsea helps map a path toward them. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first visit.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early and current relationships shape how people relate today; it helps when struggles involve trust, closeness, or attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own answers; it suits people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals. She checks in regularly about how an approach is working and adjusts plans based on the client’s needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a place that works for them. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep consistent appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
