Chelsey Flohe, LCSW

Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes. People come to her when everyday coping feels hard and they want practical ways to move forward.

She spent years working in civilian, military, and hospital settings, and she is a female Veteran. That background shapes how she listens and responds, especially for people dealing with health challenges or transitions. Her experience includes work as a transplant social worker and advocacy around health inequities.

Chelsey uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people make changes. She asks questions, highlights strengths, and offers tools to manage symptoms and build routines. She will also challenge clients when patterns keep them stuck and help set realistic steps for progress.

Her areas of focus include coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, blended family issues, and multicultural concerns. She also addresses body image, eating-related concerns, domestic violence, fertility issues, intellectual disability, first responder issues, veteran and armed forces issues, and mood disorders.

Chelsey practices in Virginia and holds LCSW credentials in California and Virginia. Sessions are conducted in English. If you want to see if she is a good fit, follow the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Chelsey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core tools. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing difficult events and building safety and coping skills after traumatic experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and what feels tolerable. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt work as progress unfolds.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, like keeping appointments during a work break or avoiding travel time. Some formats also let sessions be shorter check-ins or allow audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited. Chelsey aims to shape sessions so they fit into everyday routines and responsibilities rather than adding strain.
