Background and approach

Early in her career she worked at a center for eating disorders where she provided individual, family, and group therapy for adolescents and adults. She later worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting adults with chronic mental illness and addictions.

In outpatient work she helps people facing stress, trauma, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and concerns tied to attachment and abandonment. Chelsea also supports people with ADHD, sleep problems, and struggles around career or life transitions.

Her clinical style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions use practical strategies from cognitive approaches and skills-based therapies alongside discussions about personal values and attachment patterns. Chelsea aims to help people build skills for day-to-day coping while making room to talk about what matters most.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Chelsea uses it to help people understand trust, closeness, and repeating patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills and can be useful when strong emotions or impulsive behavior get in the way of daily life.

Deciding which approach fits best is a team effort. Chelsea works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try strategies and keep what works.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow for quick check-ins, written coaching, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while working through anxiety, stress, grief, and other concerns.
