About Chelsey

Chelsey Fleishman is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She helps parents and partners manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, and the hard changes that come with parenting and family life.

She earned a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Family Studies and Interpersonal Trauma Studies from the University of Denver in 2014.

Background and approach

Chelsey later obtained her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in 2018 and holds both LCSW and CSW designations. She practices in Idaho and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. Chelsey’s style is person centered and adaptable.

She listens to each family’s story and then tries approaches that fit their routines and values. Sessions aim to identify strengths, address past wounds that affect today’s relationships, and teach concrete skills for coping and communication. Her work often includes attention to trauma, cultural and family influences, and experiences that shape how people react under stress.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients change thought patterns and try small, practical steps that lead to relief. Chelsey welcomes conversations about parenting, adoption and foster care, postpartum concerns, fertility and pregnancy related stress, and relationship problems. She supports clients while they build sustainable, compassionate ways to cope and connect.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep problems, and stress that gets in the way of parenting and relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes that move a family toward its goals. It can be useful when people want quick, actionable ideas to try between sessions and to build on strengths already in the home.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chelsey will talk with clients about what matters most, their goals, and daily routines, then recommend methods that match those needs. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and childcare. They also let families use tools and homework between meetings so progress continues outside session time.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
