About Chriselda

Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a licensed psychologist practicing in Maryland with 27 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate a wide range of life challenges. She holds an MD, which denotes Doctor of Medicine, and combines a practical focus with deeper exploration to support lasting change. Over her career she has worked with depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar disorder, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and PTSD, work stress and burnout, addiction concerns, coping with life changes, grief, and the stuck, low-confidence moments that make life feel smaller than it should.

Her approach blends practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with the insight-oriented work of brief psychodynamic therapy. She pays attention to what is happening in the present - the habits, thoughts, and patterns that can be changed - while also exploring the life experiences beneath the surface that continue to shape feelings and relationships. This combination allows clients to learn skills that reduce distress and to develop clearer understanding of long-standing patterns.

Dr. Fleming aims to offer a steady, respectful space where clients can clarify goals, practice new skills, and make decisions that align with the person they want to become. Progress is tracked collaboratively and treatment is adjusted as learning unfolds. For a smooth and reliable process, she manages the calendar on her end. Her hours are Monday through Friday, 11 AM to 5 PM EST. Prospective clients are asked to share three daytime windows that work for them, and she will place the first good fit on the calendar.

Blending Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with concentration or mood swings by teaching concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that arise from past experiences and relationships and explores how those patterns influence current feelings and interactions. This approach helps clients gain deeper self-understanding and address recurring relational or emotional themes. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the effects of traumatic experiences and offers strategies to process painful memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms in a paced, supportive way.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Fleming works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment decisions are shaped by ongoing conversations, practical progress, and what proves most helpful in real life.

Online therapy with Dr. Fleming is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These options make it possible to fit regular sessions into daily life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access licensed professionals from the comfort of one’s own setting.
