About Chelsea
Chelsea earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016. Early in her career she worked at a center focused on eating disorders, providing individual, family, and group support for adolescents and adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic she provided social work services on an inpatient psychiatry unit supporting adults facing chronic mental illness and addictions.
She now focuses on outpatient care and brings practical, straightforward skills to sessions. Chelsea uses techniques from attachment work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and client-centered therapy to help people understand patterns and make small changes that matter. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and existential ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
Chelsea addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, eating and body image, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with anger, career transitions, addiction challenges, and coping with chronic illness.
Her style is calm, direct, and collaborative. People can expect to talk through what’s most pressing, learn concrete skills, and try approaches that fit their life. To begin, users are invited to follow the site steps to match and schedule a session.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape how people connect today and helps identify patterns that make current relationships harder or safer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and eating- or sleep-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, using listening and reflection to help someone clarify goals and build motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will work with each person to learn what they need, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust as progress is made. The initial sessions are used to figure out what methods feel most useful and practical.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find that meeting online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on tough days, or reduce travel time so therapy can happen between work or family commitments. Talk with Chelsea during the intake to decide which approach and session rhythm will fit your life and goals.
