Chelsea Luebbert

Chelsea Luebbert is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people through hard transitions. She completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings. Chelsea aims to make reaching out feel manageable and straightforward for people who are overwhelmed by change.

Her background includes work at a specialized eating disorders center where she provided family, individual, and group therapy for adolescents and adults. She also provided social work services on an inpatient psychiatry unit during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting adults facing chronic mental illness and substance use challenges. Those roles shaped her practical approach to everyday struggles.

Chelsea blends several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered listening to follow the person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior methods and existential perspectives when those help clarify values and build coping skills.

People contact Chelsea for many issues, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns like caregiver stress, body image, intimacy-related issues, and addictions.

Chelsea practices in Maryland as an LCSW-C. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online work

Chelsea uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns, especially around trust and closeness. That approach can help people who notice repeating relationship difficulties or who want clearer boundaries. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person’s priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new habits to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Chelsea will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time, checking in so that the plan stays useful as circumstances change.

If you are considering online sessions, check current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions may be simpler to schedule around work, reduce commute time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. Therapists can also use practical CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversation, and DBT skills training that translate well to virtual visits.
