How Chelsey’s approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is often used for stress, panic, depression, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and follows the client’s pace so they feel heard and understood. Motivational Interviewing helps people move through ambivalence and find personal reasons to change, which can support parenting goals, health behavior changes, or substance-related concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Chelsey works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may draw on CBT for practical skill-building, use client-centered listening to deepen understanding, and bring in motivational interviewing when people are unsure about next steps.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people exchange thoughts between sessions and fit therapy around work, childcare, or daily routines. These options make it easier to try therapy without major schedule changes.
