About Chelsea

She is based in Texas and works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with seven years of clinical experience. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better.
Chelsea listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She helps clients name what feels stuck and then tries practical ways to change it.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at building tools people can use between meetings. Her work often focuses on trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and related struggles like guilt, shame, and dissociation. She also supports people dealing with depression, seasonal mood changes, and challenges around attachment, communication, and codependency.
Chelsea has experience with first responder and veteran issues and understands the strain those roles can bring. Chelsea approaches difficult memories and emotions with patience and steadiness. She helps people process painful events while also teaching strategies to manage day-to-day symptoms.
The goal is to make life feel more manageable and to restore a sense of hope and self-worth. Therapy is offered in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that fits each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches for trauma, mood, and daily coping
Many people Chelsea sees benefit from trauma-focused work that helps process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. This type of approach guides someone through understanding what happened, how it affects them now, and practical steps to lessen the day-to-day impact of those memories. Counseling that centers on mood management helps people learn specific strategies for depression, seasonal changes, and anxiety, such as breaking tasks into smaller steps and building routines that improve energy and focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will work with each person to review their history, current concerns, and goals. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day more easily. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to build therapy into work, family, and daily life.
