She offers practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action.
How Chelsea works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when people feel overwhelmed. Sessions focus on real-life problems and clear goals. She uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable changes and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication need attention.
Conversations are direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on usable skills between sessions. Dr. Bennett has six years of professional experience.
She draws on that background to help people navigate adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and family-of-origin concerns. First responder and veteran issues are also within her areas of focus. Therapy with her often includes short skill-building exercises, practical behavior changes, and discussions about boundaries and control issues.
People can expect support for managing impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, and forgiveness work. The goal is clearer day-to-day coping and steps toward longer-term goals.

Online support options
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values; online sessions can focus on identifying values and planning small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which translate well to video or text homework and check-ins.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt techniques as progress is tracked. This shared decision-making helps tailor tools like thought records, values exercises, or behavior plans to each person's life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy focused on practical skills and steady progress.
