About Chelsey
Chelsey uses a person-centered style that adapts to each person’s needs. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings so change feels manageable.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Family Studies and Interpersonal Trauma Studies from the University of Denver, and she earned LCSW status in 2018.

How Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot and test unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep troubles, and low mood by turning ideas into practical actions.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and what a person wants to see happen. Sessions tend to focus on strengths, past successes, and tiny steps that build momentum toward change. This approach works well when someone wants clear, goal-oriented sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and help people continue care during transitions. Confirm the current session options before booking to understand which formats are available and how they can best fit into your routine.
