Chelsea Rothschild is a licensed psychologist in Tennessee with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She focuses on practical, everyday strategies that make life feel more manageable. Chelsea writes and speaks plainly, so parents and busy adults can follow along without jargon.

Background and approach
Chelsea mixes methods from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance work, and emotion-focused techniques depending on the need. Her work tends to be down-to-earth and goal oriented. She helps people break problems into small steps, practice new habits, and notice what gets in the way.
Chelsea also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and addiction concerns. Across many years in practice she has developed straightforward tools for communication, self-esteem, and career strain. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin issues when those patterns affect current life.
Chelsea emphasizes learning skills that transfer to day-to-day situations rather than only talking about feelings. People who choose Chelsea can expect a calm, respectful space to talk about hard things and try new strategies. She partners with each client to set clear goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Chelsea aims to help clients find more ease and direction in their daily lives.
Evidence-based approaches available online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking meaningful action. This approach can help with stress, life changes, and coping with chronic health issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The aim is to choose tools that feel useful in everyday life rather than sticking to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals from different settings.
