About Chelsey

Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and Virginia with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and other health-related concerns.

Chelsey draws on long experience in civilian, military, and hospital settings. She is a military veteran and has worked as a transplant social worker, which shaped her interest in health inequities and social justice. That background influences how she looks at problems tied to medical care and long-term health conditions.

Sessions are practical and direct. She listens for what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning and helps people set small, manageable goals. Expect conversations about coping skills, problem solving, and steps that can reduce overwhelm between sessions.

Her style includes tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused work. These approaches are used to address mood problems, adjustment to life changes, and responses after difficult events.

Chelsey can challenge patterns that keep people stuck while supporting clearer choices about next steps. She also brings attention to systemic and medical contexts when they matter to a person's situation. To begin, follow the site's process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Online sessions often focus on clear, practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps someone find their own reasons for change and build commitment in small steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, life demands, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so sessions fit what the person needs and prefers.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is not feasible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care and to focus on skills, problem solving, and processing difficult experiences in ways that work with everyday life.
