Chelsey Diaz , LMSW

Chelsey Diaz is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She also supports issues related to LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Chelsey speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.

Chelsey uses a straightforward, warm approach in sessions. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope day to day.

Her work draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way. She also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to set short-term goals and keep momentum. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices.

Chelsey pays attention to multicultural concerns and has experience with immigration-related stress and issues common in Latinx communities. She also lists autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family and communication problems, postpartum concerns, and ADHD among areas she addresses.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more balanced ways of thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change behavior and mood.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the client find their own solutions, which can be helpful for increasing self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps people discover their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. It pairs well with goal-focused work, such as addressing substance use, parenting changes, or health-related behavior shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Chelsey will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations and preferences. Video works well for deeper conversations when you want face-to-face contact. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
