About Chriselda
Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a Maryland-based psychologist with 27 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, ADHD, and the burnout that comes from caregiving or demanding work.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She combines tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and psychodynamic thinking. In sessions she focuses on habits and thought patterns that can change now.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to earlier experiences that still shape reactions and relationships. Clients can expect a calm, steady space to talk through problems and try new ways of coping. Dr.
Fleming aims to set a few clear goals and track small steps of progress. She helps people practice skills between sessions and tweak what isn’t working. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, eating and body-image struggles, bipolar disorder, and issues tied to chronic illness or caregiving.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, control issues, dissociation, and isolation. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to fit each person’s schedule. Dr.
Fleming manages scheduling directly and coordinates times during weekday hours. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and moves into regular sessions once a plan is set.
Approaches and what online therapy offers
Dr. Fleming commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work to address anxiety and stressful life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past traumatic events affect current feelings and reactions, and uses methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting techniques when something isn’t helping. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions and can help when someone needs brief support or has limited time. These options offer flexibility and multiple ways to keep therapy consistent while using approaches like CBT and trauma-focused work.Questions people ask
