About Chelsey
Chelsey Diaz is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on clear, practical support. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Chelsey prefers a warm, direct style in sessions. She builds an open space where people can say what they’re feeling without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and helps clients set small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. She draws on client-centered work to follow a person’s lead and make therapy relevant to their life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find internal reasons to change. Her background includes eight years of professional experience in social work and practice across multicultural settings, with particular knowledge of Latinx community concerns. Chelsey offers evening and weekend appointments and works with people to schedule times that fit their lives.
Therapy sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She explains the intake steps and helps people get started without jargon. If someone prefers Spanish, she can hold sessions in that language.
How Chelsey’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In online sessions this means Chelsey will ask about what matters most and shape the conversation around those concerns, whether it’s stress, parenting, or ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change and can be especially useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Chelsey will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful for the client, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging lets people use the format that fits their life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
