About Chelsey

Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life changes. She also brings attention to aging and geriatric issues and supports caregivers and people facing chronic illness or end-of-life concerns.

She spent years working in civilian, military, and hospital settings, and she is a veteran herself. That background shaped how she responds to the challenges people face after major medical events and during difficult life transitions. She listens for practical problems and helps people find manageable next steps.

Chelsey uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change, and Trauma-Focused Therapy supports work through traumatic experiences.

Her approach mixes respect with occasional challenge. She will encourage honest reflection while offering concrete tools for coping and decision making. Practical strategies might include small behavior changes, reframing thoughts, or building a step-by-step plan to reach a goal.

People who choose her often want someone who understands health-related stress and caregiving strain. To start a match, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Chelsey's methods focus on clear steps and everyday tools that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes to test new ideas; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and uses guided questions to build motivation for goals like healthier habits or managing caregiving tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation usually includes practical planning, trying a tool for a few sessions, and adjusting the plan if it isn't helping.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to involve sessions around medical appointments or caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and focus so sessions match each person's life and priorities.
