About Chelsey

She pays close attention to negative thought patterns and helps challenge those beliefs so people can build self-worth.
How Chelsey works
Sessions include skill-building for handling daily stressors and tools to reduce panic and social anxiety. Chelsey also helps people understand how past experiences shape current behavior and feelings. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including elements of DBT, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused methods, and psychodynamic ideas.
These tools are used to teach coping skills, improve communication, and process traumatic memories when appropriate. Chelsey checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed. Her style is warm and strengths-based.
She offers structure and guidance while encouraging clients to share what matters most to them. Therapy is collaborative: she helps set goals, breaks them into steps, and monitors change over time. Chelsey has practiced as a therapist for six years and works from California.
She conducts sessions in English and supports a range of concerns from panic attacks to post-traumatic stress. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on helping people feel more confident and connected to their lives.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Many of Chelsey's sessions use trauma-focused cognitive behavioral ideas to help people process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress. This approach breaks down distressing thoughts and memories into manageable parts and teaches coping strategies for intense reactions.She also uses elements of dialectical behavioral therapy, which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. These techniques are helpful for panic attacks, strong anxiety, and improving communication during conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsey collaborates with each person to identify goals, tries techniques that fit their needs, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. The process is active and team-oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-data connections or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, ongoing support between sessions, or times when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a break, or a caregiving schedule while keeping progress steady.
