About Chelsea
Chelsea Sudderth is a Licensed Master Social Worker, licensed in Michigan, with eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as career and self-esteem. Chelsea describes a client-centered way of working that focuses on individual needs and goals.
Chelsea uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions often include skills practice, values-based goal setting, and steps to reduce avoidance and worry.
She has particular experience with complex trauma, mood disorders, and co-occurring concerns like eating and body-image issues. Chelsea also helps people manage big life changes, relationship communication problems, and the effects of long-term stress. ADHD and dissociative experiences are also areas she has supported over time.
Chelsea frames the work as collaborative. She aims to help people notice what's keeping them stuck, try new ways of coping, and track small gains. Her background includes work with a range of mood and anxiety presentations over eight years in Michigan clinical settings.
Sessions are conducted in English. Chelsea does not accept international clients, and practical details such as cost and session setup are provided during the intake process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Chelsea draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small meaningful steps, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety and low mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation when people feel overwhelmed.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Chelsea will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge. Clients and therapist make these choices together rather than relying on a single fixed method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. They can also let people use phone-only sessions when low bandwidth or camera-free meetings are preferable. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
