About Chelsea
Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (licensed Master of Social Work) with ten years of practical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles that weigh on parents and caregivers, including stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and trauma. Chelsea speaks English and practices from Michigan.
Her sessions are patient and down-to-earth. She meets people where they are and works with them to set clear, realistic goals. Chelsea uses straightforward conversation to untangle problems and find workable steps forward.
Background and approach
Her approach often centers on attachment-based ideas. That means she pays attention to how relationships and early bonds shape current behavior and feelings. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify what’s already helping and build on it.
Chelsea has experience supporting people facing grief, compassion fatigue, postpartum mood concerns, and challenges tied to intellectual or developmental differences. She also addresses communication problems, family stress, and symptoms like social anxiety or post-traumatic stress. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Chelsea helps clients choose practical tools they can try between meetings and adjusts methods to fit changing needs. If someone wants a straightforward, relationally minded approach to parenting and daily stress, she offers calm, collaborative support.

How attachment and solution-focused work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships and early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; online sessions use conversation to notice patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about parenting stress, grief, or anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will discuss which methods match a client's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as needs change. Together they set small, practical goals and check progress over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting schedules and to keep continuity between meetings.
