Chelsey Diaz

Chelsey Diaz is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients coping with life changes and assists with relationship and family issues. Chelsey speaks English and Spanish and has eight years of professional experience.

Chelsey often works with teens and young adults and pays special attention to multicultural experiences, including challenges faced by Latinx clients. She aims to make the first steps into therapy easier by listening without judgment and building a calm, open space for conversation. Her approach is practical and direct, with a focus on small, achievable changes.

In sessions Chelsey uses several approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thinking that get in the way, and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.

Her work also addresses concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, intellectual disability, postpartum depression, and multicultural stressors like prejudice or immigration-related strain. She helps with communication problems, blended family issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Chelsey offers evening and weekend appointments and aims to schedule sessions at times that fit each person's life. If scheduling appears limited, she works with clients to find times that accommodate both parties. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Chelsey’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so the person sets the pace and direction. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and practice different ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into clear steps and skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one way of doing therapy. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, including evenings and weekends, and it can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or schedule is tight, while others choose video for face-to-face conversation. The therapist and client can decide together what best fits daily life and goals.
