Chelsee Najjar, LMHC

Chelsee Najjar is a licensed mental health counselor working in Florida. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and LGBTQ issues. Her style is straightforward and warm, focused on small, practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice feelings without getting swept away. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps some clients clarify what matters most and take action toward those values.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Chelsee aims to build trust quickly and tailor each plan to what a person needs right now. People leave with specific tools they can practice during the week.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience as an LMHC - licensed mental health counselor. That experience shapes how she balances support with practical skill-building. She works with a wide range of concerns including family of origin issues, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and life purpose questions.

Chelsee also addresses more specific struggles such as abandonment, adoption and foster care dynamics, BDSM and kink-related concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. Her approach blends motivational interviewing and client-centered care to meet people where they are.

How Chelsee Uses Talk Therapy Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for clients to be heard, building trust and strengthening self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsee will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and adapt strategies as progress is made. Treatment is collaborative - the client helps set priorities and the therapist suggests tools and experiments to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into busy days or to share thoughts when not on camera. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel schedules.
