Dr. Chriselda Fleming, Psychologist

Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a Psychologist in Maryland who helps adults facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and stress that wears them down. Her tone is practical and steady, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.

She blends hands-on strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic listening that looks for the deeper patterns holding people back. Sessions focus on current habits and thoughts that can be changed, while also noticing older experiences that still shape reactions today. This mix lets people learn new skills and also understand why old patterns repeat.

In the room she aims to set a respectful, steady space. People leave sessions with small, doable practices they can try between meetings. Progress is tracked with a few clear goals so work stays focused and measurable.

Her approach suits people who want both practical tools and thoughtful reflection. She encourages trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed. That collaborative stance supports steady change rather than quick fixes.

To begin, readers complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's calendar. The emphasis in early sessions is on immediate coping strategies, then on deeper patterns as trust and clarity grow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Fleming uses cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches that adapt well to remote talk therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning concrete skills to change behavior and mood; it often includes short exercises and clear homework to practice between sessions. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring relationship patterns and the feelings that lie beneath day-to-day reactions; it helps people understand why they repeat certain habits and how to try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That joint decision can shift over time as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping steady momentum between appointments. If you are considering remote care, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to attend regularly, try brief check-ins, and practice skills in everyday settings without adding long commutes.
