About Chelsey
Chelsey Diaz is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, anger, and other life adjustments. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She does not work with international clients.
Chelsey often sees issues related to relationships, family concerns, and coping after trauma or abuse. She also supports people with eating concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Additional focus areas include multicultural and immigration-related difficulties and support for those on the autism spectrum.
Her approach pulls from several practical therapy styles. Chelsey uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and motivational interviewing to support change. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when those fit a client's needs.
Chelsey emphasizes straightforward conversation and problem-solving. She helps people talk through control issues, communication problems, blended family stress, and feelings of guilt or shame. Sessions aim to make emotions clearer and to find manageable steps forward.
Her background includes focused work with teens, young adults, and Latinx communities. Evening and weekend sessions are offered to accommodate different schedules, and she asks prospective clients to follow the standard matching process and scheduling flow before their first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions fit into your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people name what matters and feel understood. It is useful when someone needs space to sort through feelings about anger, relationships, or parenting issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger and teaches concrete skills to respond differently.
Motivational Interviewing supports small changes by exploring a person’s own reasons for wanting change. It can be helpful when someone is unsure about taking the next step or needs help building momentum.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Chelsey will work alongside the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean trying one method for a while or blending techniques as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit more easily into busy schedules, allow for evening and weekend appointments, and reduce travel time. When you consider starting, check the available session options and pick times that minimize interruptions and let you focus on the work at hand.
