About Chelsea
She completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings. Early work included family, individual, and group therapy at a center for eating disorders. During the COVID-19 pandemic she worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit providing social work services to adults with chronic mental health and addiction challenges.
Chelsea uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present patterns. She uses client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and depression. There are also additional focuses like attachment issues, abandonment, kink and alternative sex culture, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

How Chelsea’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Chelsea commonly draws on attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsea will listen to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit. She makes these choices collaboratively so clients have a clear plan and know what to expect from sessions.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make regular meetings more feasible during work or caregiving days. Licensed professionals adapt tools from attachment and CBT work to online settings to keep sessions focused and practical.
