About Chelsea

Chelsea Stewart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to parenting, addiction, and career transitions. She also helps people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, body image, and LGBT-related concerns.

She uses straightforward talk and practical skills to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, behavior change, and building coping skills for everyday strain. Chelsea emphasizes improving self-esteem and increasing the ability to manage strong emotions, including anger and resentment.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. Over eleven years she has worked with a wide range of presenting problems, including grief, postpartum and infertility challenges, and caregiving stress.

Chelsea draws on several approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These are used to help with thinking patterns, relationship dynamics, and emotional regulation.

In conversation she focuses on concrete steps and realistic practices people can use between sessions. People can expect a practical, goal-focused rhythm to appointments that balances talking, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people reduce avoidance, tolerate difficult feelings, and make choices that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through practical exercises. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be especially useful when anger or strong emotions get in the way of daily life.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Chelsea will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new challenges come up and different skills are needed.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote meetings helpful for practicing skills in real life and keeping therapy consistent with work and family schedules.
