About Chelsey

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills with empathic support to help clients manage difficult emotions and life changes. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related matters including coping with life transitions, social anxiety, body image, fertility and pregnancy concerns, and end-of-life or hospice related issues.

Chelsey uses an approach rooted in client-centered care and evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. She aims to create a welcoming space where people can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment, build coping skills, and identify realistic steps toward their goals.

Licensed as LPC and LCMHC (SC LPC 9695 and NC LCMHC 17540), she offers flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, while supporting each person in finding the methods that fit their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns so they can try different responses and reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when strong emotions or impulsivity interfere with daily life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship that supports people in exploring their feelings and discovering their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailor methods from CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to find the best fit over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, or other commitments. These remote formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular support and practical tools while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
