Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address symptoms and life transitions. Chelsey is based in Virginia and provides care in English for adults seeking help navigating life changes and related concerns.

How Chelsey Uses Practical Approaches Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that make problems worse. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear skills to test thoughts and try new actions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding reasons to change that matter to the person. It uses guided questions to strengthen motivation and plan next steps, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsey will discuss goals and preferences and choose or combine techniques collaboratively. She tailors sessions so people get practical tools while also addressing emotional concerns.
