She also supports those facing life changes, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and career challenges. Her style is approachable and direct, and she works with each person to set clear goals for therapy. Chelsey keeps sessions interactive and practical.
She listens first and then helps people choose steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next. Her methods draw from client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
That mix lets her match the pace and structure to what a person needs. Some sessions concentrate on coping skills and present-day solutions, while others slow down to build awareness and values-driven choices.
She has five years of counseling experience and has worked with people affected by drug and alcohol addiction, body image and eating struggles, workplace strain, and issues related to veterans and armed forces. She also addresses self-harm, forgiveness, self-love, and young adult concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Practical approaches for online anxiety care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals. Sessions emphasize listening, empathy, and helping the person steer the conversation toward what matters most. This approach is useful for anyone needing a respectful space to sort through feelings and choices.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-moment skills to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. It can help reduce worry and improve how someone copes with stress and strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and can adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for fuller conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with being on camera.
