About Chelsey
Chelsey Diaz is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Chelsey also lists work related to LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD among her areas of practice.
Chelsey talks plainly in sessions and keeps conversations focused and practical. She draws on several therapy methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches inform how she helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build clearer ways to manage everyday challenges.
She has additional focus on multicultural concerns and the Latinx community. Chelsey notes experience with blended family issues, communication problems, immigration concerns, and postpartum depression. She also addresses anger, grief around guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and problem-focused. Chelsey uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the situation, such as exploring motivations or recurring relationship themes. She offers evening and weekend appointments and works with clients to find times that accommodate both schedules.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. To start, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Therapy with Chelsey often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through parenting stress, identity questions, or emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood, and building concrete coping steps for day-to-day life.
Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses to help people find personal reasons to change and to set small goals. That approach can be helpful for shifts in routines, postpartum adjustments, or managing compassion fatigue.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Chelsey will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels most practical. Together you can try an approach and adjust it over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid a commute. Ask about available session types when you start the intake so you can choose what fits your schedule and daily life.
