About Chelsea
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016. Early in her career she worked at a Center for Eating Disorders, where she provided family, individual, and group therapy for adolescents and adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic she worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit, supporting adults with chronic mental illness and addictions.
Her approach blends attachment-based perspectives with client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, follows each person’s goals, and uses clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and existential ideas when they fit a person’s needs.
Chelsea works with many concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, addictions, depression, bipolar, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. She also addresses areas like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and kink-affirming topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now, with tools to use between meetings. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how a person connects and reacts. It can help people understand attachment patterns that affect intimacy and trust. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects back what’s important, and helps people make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors with clear steps and exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea collaborates with each person to try methods that match their needs and goals. Together they check what is helping, adjust strategies, and decide which skills to keep using between sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping ongoing momentum between appointments. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and avoid travel time, which helps people use therapy consistently. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be held.
