About Chelsea
Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (licensed Master of Social Work) with 10 years of experience in clinical and community settings. She focuses on everyday strains like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Chelsea writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Her work often centers on relationships and family concerns, plus trauma and caregiver fatigue. She also supports people facing ADHD, attachment questions, postpartum depression, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and other developmental or intellectual disability issues. Chelsea uses a mix of approaches to match the situation at hand.
In sessions she aims to be patient and thoughtful. She meets people where they are and jointly sets realistic goals. That means making room for what someone needs that day and adjusting pace as progress is made.
Therapy blends attachment-based ideas with solution-focused steps and trauma-focused care when appropriate. Chelsea draws on client-centered principles, so the person’s own priorities guide decisions about what to work on. Sessions tend to be practical, with ideas you can try between meetings.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance on parenting stress, relationship strain, or recovery after difficult experiences. She encourages clear communication, manageable goals, and small changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. It helps people recognize how attachment styles affect current worries, parenting, and relationship patterns, and supports building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pacing. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens without judgment, and helps clarify what matters most so practical steps can be chosen together. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions accordingly. She collaborates with each person to try methods and adjust as progress is made. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can make it easier to check in between responsibilities, keep momentum after a hard day, or have shorter focused meetings when needed. Because session options were not specified in the biography, confirm current formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and what will work best for your routine.Areas of expertise
