About Chelsea
Dr. Chelsea Bennett is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, self-esteem, and life direction.
She brings six years of clinical experience and holds LISW and LCSW credentials. Her approach is direct and practical. She aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment.
Background and approach
She focuses on small, doable steps that fit into a busy life. Conversations typically include identifying patterns and trying new ways of responding. Chelsea uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking. She uses acceptance and commitment tools to help people act in line with their values. She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy for handling intense emotions.
She has worked with issues related to adoption, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns. She also has experience with first responder and veteran concerns. That background informs how she addresses stress, control, and trauma-related reactions.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Many clients find her style useful when managing life transitions, dealing with loss, or making parenting adjustments. She encourages people to take small steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values, even when difficult feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as grounding and emotion regulation techniques.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan when needed so the work fits the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping treatment focused and practical.
