About Chelsey

Chelsey Diaz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Chelsey works in both English and Spanish and brings a direct, calm presence to sessions.

She has eight years of experience in social work practice in Michigan and uses practical, easy-to-understand approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Chelsey aims to make the room feel open so clients can talk honestly about what’s hard for them. Chelsey draws on several therapy methods to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns.

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building trust so clients lead the pace. Motivational Interviewing supports change by strengthening a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward. She has also worked with concerns tied to cultural identity, immigration issues, and the Latinx community.

Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, postpartum concerns, and panic attacks. Chelsey pays attention to how background and context shape each person’s struggles. Sessions are scheduled to fit clients’ lives, including evenings and weekends when needed.

Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time. Chelsey aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear steps and actions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can set their own pace and goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change by exploring their values and reasons for taking action.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-focused.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for busy families. These options allow sessions to fit into evenings or weekends and let people connect from home or another convenient place. The variety of formats can help maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or schedules shift.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
