How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety and stress and includes practical exercises the client practices between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. That approach can help when anger, intense feelings, or relationship conflicts are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she may combine elements from different models as needed. This decision is made together based on symptoms, life context, and what the person wants to achieve.
