About Chelsey
Chelsey Fleishman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship strain. She practices in Idaho and brings seven years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, sleep, trauma, and life transitions. Chelsey holds a Master of Social Work and uses a flexible, person-focused style in sessions.
Chelsey frames therapy around everyday strengths. She listens for what already works, then tries small changes that fit a person's life.
Background and approach
Her sessions are straightforward and practical, focusing on clear steps rather than long explanations. Parents often appreciate concrete ideas for routines, boundaries, and emotional support. Her background includes a Master of Social Work with concentration in Family Studies and Interpersonal Trauma Studies from the University of Denver, and she earned LCSW credentials in 2018.
That training informs her attention to how family and culture shape coping and behavior. She applies that perspective when addressing grief, postpartum mood changes, adoption and foster care concerns, and trauma histories. Chelsey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy tools to set goals and test changes between sessions.
Expect simple homework, skill practice, and short-term planning when helpful. She emphasizes collaboration and adapts approaches to each person's priorities. Sessions cover a broad range of issues including communication problems, control issues, codependency, infertility and fertility stress, domestic violence impacts, and veteran-related concerns.
Chelsey aims to help people build more manageable routines, clearer boundaries, and more effective ways to cope with difficult emotions.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often uses short exercises and at-home practice to shift mood, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small, achievable changes that show progress quickly. It is useful for parenting concerns, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that match those priorities. Sessions often mix CBT skills and solution-focused planning so clients can try practical steps between meetings and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for in-depth conversation and skill coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing notes and brief exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and busy days.
