Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Chelsey
Chelsey uses client-centered therapy to build a supportive, respectful relationship where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and meeting people where they are, which can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjusting to life changes.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Motivational interviewing is another tool in her practice, aimed at enhancing a person's internal motivation for change. This collaborative, nonconfrontational style can be especially useful for addiction, recovery, and when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.
Chelsey treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to select and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to best support progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to client-centered care.
