Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Chelsea commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, and she integrates a client-centered spirit into her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change and is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to set the pace and priorities for their work together.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chelsea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress is made or priorities shift, keeping the client’s voice central to treatment planning.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care despite busy schedules or geographic distance. These formats offer flexibility in how and when sessions take place, support continuity between appointments, and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and real-life challenges in ways that suit each individual.
