Chelsea P​o​u​l​o​s

Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (licensed Master of Social Work) with 10 years of experience. She focuses on everyday challenges like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and trauma. Chelsea aims to meet people where they are and set practical goals together.

Her style is patient and thoughtful. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Chelsea uses attachment-based ideas alongside solution-focused strategies to help people build clearer steps forward.

She has supported people coping with compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, ADHD, and persistent worries and mood concerns. Chelsea also pays attention to communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues related to intellectual disability and autism spectrum differences. Her work often helps people who are juggling caregiving or parenting responsibilities.

In practice she listens first, then helps identify small, manageable changes. Therapy can include talking through difficult memories, strengthening day-to-day routines, or trying new ways to solve specific problems. Chelsea adapts her approach to the person’s goals and what they need that day.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and realistic goals rather than long lists of techniques. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and make progress that fits into ordinary life. Chelsea welcomes questions and takes time to explain options before planning next steps.

How Chelsea’s approaches work for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections affect current relationships and emotional responses. In sessions this looks like talking through patterns in close relationships and trying small changes to feel more secure and connected. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person set their own goals and pace for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsea will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together the person and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs shift over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Chelsea’s written profile does not list specific formats, so check what is offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy periods while still focusing on clear steps and problem solving.
