About Chelsee

Chelsee Najjar is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, intimacy-related issues, and LGBTQ-related matters. With eight years of clinical experience, she combines practical skills and compassionate support to help clients navigate emotional challenges and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes empowering clients to understand their patterns, build healthier habits, and identify goals that feel meaningful. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices, acceptance strategies, and client-centered listening.

Chelsee creates a nonjudgmental environment that honors each person’s identity and experience while offering structured tools for symptom relief and growth. She also addresses a range of related concerns including abandonment, family of origin issues, communication problems, chronic feelings of emptiness, and questions around life purpose.

Chelsee aims to partner with clients to develop actionable steps, increase emotional awareness, and foster resilience amid change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Chelsee often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT offers structured strategies that can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and support clearer decision making. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage openness to difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and actions that move clients toward a meaningful life. Client-centered principles guide her interactions, ensuring the work centers on each person's perspective and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to test and adapt strategies based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, so the therapeutic plan evolves from shared exploration and feedback rather than being imposed up front.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care during transitions. These options allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between live meetings, and timely reflection on progress while maintaining the same therapeutic methods Chelsee uses in person.
