About Chelsey
Chelsey Diaz is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices from Michigan.
Chelsey focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what feels hard. She listens first to understand what matters most, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with and focus on real-life steps that can be tried between meetings. Her work draws on several approaches to fit different needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new coping skills.
Client-centered methods keep the client's priorities at the center. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or wants stronger momentum. Chelsey has eight years of professional experience as an LMSW, with particular attention to multicultural concerns and the Latinx community.
She has supported people facing trauma, family and relationship problems, ADHD, postpartum challenges, and issues related to identity and discrimination. She offers flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, and adapts sessions to each person's life and rhythm. Chelsey encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change and works with clients to find approaches that feel doable.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and goals, offering nonjudgmental listening and support to help people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore mixed feelings about change and build motivation for next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsey will listen to your goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit your situation. Together you will try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, evening or weekend meetings, and different comfort levels with technology.
