About Chelsey
Chelsey Flohe brings a compassionate, strengths-focused perspective to people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a place for growth and self-understanding rather than a label, inviting clients who want to explore changes, build coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence. With an emphasis on practical tools and respectful challenge, she helps clients identify patterns that interfere with daily functioning and develop strategies to address them.
Holding an LCSW and more than two decades of clinical experience, Chelsey has worked across civilian, military, and hospital environments and has developed particular sensitivity to issues that intersect with health, caregiving, and social justice. Her background includes work with transplant patients and advocacy for people facing chronic illness, which informs a trauma-aware and collaborative approach.
She partners with clients to set realistic goals and uses evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Chelsey practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.
She aims to balance empathy with active therapeutic work, offering support while challenging stuck patterns so clients can make meaningful, sustainable changes.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work
Chelsey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and integrating traumatic experiences in ways that reduce distress and improve daily functioning, often using gradual, structured techniques tailored to each person.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. She works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and needs, and then combines methods that fit the situation rather than relying on a single technique. This collaborative planning helps ensure that sessions address the most relevant concerns and adapt as progress is made.
Online therapy with Chelsey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life situations. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions or busy periods and allow clients to engage in regular therapeutic work from locations that suit them.
