About Chelsey

Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience offering clinical services across civilian, military, and hospital settings. As a female Veteran, she brings firsthand understanding of military life to her work and specializes in helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on issues connected to chronic illness, caregiving, blended families, aging, body image, and other complex concerns that can affect everyday functioning.

Chelsey's background includes practice as a transplant social worker and advocacy on health inequities and social justice issues, which informs her attention to systemic factors that may shape a person's well-being. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods - including cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused care - to tailor treatment to each individual's needs.

Known for a direct yet compassionate approach, she partners with clients to identify goals, challenge patterns that keep them stuck, and build practical skills for moving forward. Her practice emphasizes service, empowerment, and thoughtful collaboration to support meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Chelsey frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing and resolving the impacts of traumatic experiences while building safety and coping strategies for daily life. She also incorporates motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversation style that helps clarify priorities and build motivation for change when clients feel ambivalent about goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chelsey works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This client-therapist partnership guides decisions about what techniques to emphasize.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations and to maintain progress even when life is busy or circumstances change.
