How Chelsea's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and issues around meaning and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on naming unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes clear, short exercises to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy, useful for people wrestling with trust, commitment, or family-related concerns.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Chelsea will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful and try strategies that match their goals and daily life. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.
