Chelsea Stewart , LMHC

Chelsea Stewart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and identity concerns. She focuses on practical steps that improve daily life, like clearer thinking, steadier self-esteem, and stronger self-care habits.

Chelsea uses straightforward talk and active skills practice. She helps people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding to hard emotions. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what fits each person’s life.

Her clinical background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting stress. Chelsea also supports people facing body image struggles, infertility or postpartum challenges, and issues around gender identity. She welcomes exploration of intimacy and communication patterns as part of healing.

Chelsea earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Florida.

In sessions she blends approaches to match the concern at hand. That can mean learning skills for emotion regulation, practicing new communication habits, or working with past attachment patterns that affect present relationships. The work aims to leave people feeling more clear, capable, and able to make choices that reflect their values.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small, values-based steps. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching people to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to act in ways that reflect their priorities.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand recurring dynamics in relationships and practice new ways of relating that build trust and closeness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text work well for short check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
