She focuses on helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and complex trauma.

She draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking actions that matter to them. Chelsea emphasizes working together to set clear goals.
Conversations focus on concrete strategies people can try between sessions. She pays attention to how past events, especially trauma, affect current choices and relationships. Her style is empathetic and nonjudgmental.
Chelsea aims to make it easier for people to talk about hard things and to practice new ways of coping. She also offers coaching-style support for career or life transitions. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People reach her by starting the online matching process and scheduling according to availability. Chelsea works in English and is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW.
Therapies That Translate Well to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often uses clear exercises and homework, which adapt well to video or messaging formats. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through structured skills training and practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clients to notice thoughts and commit to value-driven actions, useful for decision-making and coping work done both in and between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as needed so therapy stays practical and focused on what matters most to the client.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that match their routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
