About Chelsey
Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and big life changes. She brings calm, direct guidance for everyday problems and bigger transitions.
She draws on a long career across civilian, military, and hospital settings. Her background includes time as a transplant social worker and service in the armed forces, which shaped her interest in chronic illness, health inequities, and social justice.
Background and approach
Chelsey holds LCSW credentials in Virginia and California and uses that experience to guide practical next steps. In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge. She helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and then tests simple changes to break those patterns.
Work can include short-term goal-setting, talking through painful memories, or building skills to manage strong emotions and daily stress. Chelsey uses straightforward methods to help clients find relief and move forward. She tailors tools to each person’s needs and life situation rather than using one fixed plan.
Her style suits people who want both empathy and clear strategies. People connect with her when they need help coping with illness, caregiving strain, blended family issues, eating and body image concerns, veteran and first responder issues, or end-of-life matters. She also offers support around multicultural concerns and mood disorders.
Chelsey aims to partner with clients so they can make meaningful changes and feel more capable in daily life.
How Chelsey’s Approaches Work Online
Chelsey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the impact of painful memories while building coping skills for daily life.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Chelsey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the challenges they face, then suggest approaches to try. Sessions may shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when scheduling is tight. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving duties, or medical routines.
