About Chelsea
Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (licensed Master of Social Work) with ten years of experience helping people navigate everyday stressors and deeper emotional struggles. She focuses on practical, steady support and works with clients to set realistic goals that fit their lives. She often helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and trauma.
ADHD is also listed among her focus areas, and she supports clients in finding strategies that fit their routines and challenges.
Background and approach
Chelsea also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, and communication problems. Chelsea uses attachment-based and solution-focused approaches in sessions. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and then works with clients to build small, workable steps toward change.
She adapts each session to what the person needs on that day rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style is patient and thoughtful. Sessions tend to be collaborative: Chelsea listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients pick practical actions to try between meetings.
The tone is direct and compassionate, with room for the pace a person needs. Clients can expect straightforward talk about current problems and concrete ideas they can use right away. Chelsea draws on ten years of practice to guide decisions about what approaches may be most helpful next.
How Chelsea’s Methods Work Online
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions let Chelsea talk through patterns and practice new ways of relating to others through real examples and role play. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. Chelsea listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and choose steps that feel doable. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes concrete, short-term steps toward change. In online meetings Chelsea and the client pick one or two small goals and test practical strategies between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating skills. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, checking in during the week, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting until the right fit is found.
