About Chelsey
Chelsey Flohe greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Chelsey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with more than 22 years of experience.
She has worked in hospital, military, and civilian settings and brings that background into sessions. Her experience includes supporting people facing chronic illness, end-of-life care, and caregiving strain.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and the impacts of social justice on health and access to care. In sessions she uses straightforward methods that aim to change patterns that cause distress. Chelsey draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused ideas to build on strengths and small wins. Chelsey is a veteran and has worked with transplant patients and others navigating serious medical challenges. That background shapes how she talks about chronic pain, fertility struggles, hospice and end-of-life issues, and caregiver stress.
She also addresses trauma, domestic violence, eating issues, and mood disorders. Therapy with Chelsey is a collaborative effort. She will both support and challenge a person where needed.
To begin, she asks people to identify clear goals and creates steps that fit daily life.

Online support
How Chelsey’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Online sessions can use CBT to help people notice thinking patterns and test new behaviors in day-to-day situations. CBT exercises often include simple homework and tracking that fit well with text check-ins or video sessions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by building on their own reasons for taking steps forward. That approach works well in short phone or chat conversations that focus on immediate goals and next steps. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and try approaches that match goals and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time based on what helps most. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a full session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or a quieter space is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and brief progress notes possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
