About Chelsea

Chelsea Rothschild is a Tennessee-based psychologist with 24 years of clinical experience who focuses on practical support for people navigating stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, addiction, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes helping clients build resilience, clearer self-understanding, and manageable strategies to cope with difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges while honoring each person’s individual circumstances and goals. Her work draws from client-centered principles alongside evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

Chelsea adapts her approach to the needs presented in sessions, integrating coaching-oriented tools when helpful to support career concerns, self-esteem, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.

As a licensed professional in Tennessee (TN Psychologist 3065), she offers a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment aimed at healing from trauma and abuse, improving communication, and addressing unique life-stage issues like aging, fertility, and blended family dynamics. Chelsea aims to collaborate with clients to identify meaningful goals and practical steps toward greater emotional balance and wellbeing.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Online work with Chelsea often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and other concerns, offering practical exercises clients can use between sessions. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness strategies to help people live a more meaningful life even when difficult emotions are present, which can be especially helpful for coping with life transitions, grief, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chelsea collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what techniques feel most useful and adjust the plan over time, blending client-centered listening with structured interventions when appropriate.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain regular appointments while balancing work, caregiving, or health constraints, and they allow therapists to use worksheets, exercises, and conversational coaching in ways that suit each client’s routine.
