About Chelsey
Chelsey Merchant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, career stress, and mood disorders.
Chelsey takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She treats clients as the expert on their own lives and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often involve identifying what currently helps and what gets in the way, then testing small changes that fit into everyday routines.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s priorities. Mindfulness techniques and Narrative Therapy are available tools when exploring identity, body image, or trauma memories.
Chelsey has experience addressing concerns linked to alternative sexual cultures, gender dysphoria, and intimacy issues alongside more common clinical problems like bipolar disorder, self-harm, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people facing end-of-life decisions and caregivers dealing with compassion fatigue.

BHow sessions work
How Chelsey Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s priorities and listening closely to what matters most. This approach helps people clarify goals and make changes that feel practical and meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques so the plan addresses symptoms, daily routines, and the stories people tell about themselves.
