How Chelsea uses evidence-based techniques in remote sessions
Chelsea lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among her primary tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and bolster motivation for recovery from addiction.She also uses Brainspotting and Narrative Therapy at times. Brainspotting aims to access stored emotional material through focused attention and body awareness. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by reworking the stories they tell about their experiences. Chelsea will discuss these options and work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which remote options are offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving; they can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins simpler to schedule. Chelsea emphasizes collaboration on approach and pacing so sessions align with everyday demands and personal goals.
