About Chelsea

Chelsea Luebbert is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with ADHD, mood disorders, sleep problems, and major life changes.

She completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016. Early in her clinical work she provided individual, group, and family therapy at a center focused on eating disorders. During the COVID-19 pandemic she worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit, offering social work services to adults facing chronic mental illness and addictions. She later moved into outpatient work to continue supporting people in community settings.

Chelsea uses several therapeutic approaches in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns and how early connections influence current struggles. She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and making therapy practical for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to teach skills for managing emotions and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including blended family stress, communication problems, codependency, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and intimacy-related issues. People often come for help with parenting pressures, grief, coping with life changes, or navigating relationship conflicts. Chelsea encourages concrete steps and skill-building during sessions to make progress between meetings.

If you are considering starting, she asks that you use the site's process to select online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Chelsea uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior and expectations. It can help people who notice repeated conflicts, difficulty trusting, or problems with closeness by tracing how those patterns developed and trying new ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. The idea is to prioritize the person's goals and preferences, and to make sessions practical for everyday problems like parenting strain or communication breakdowns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and managing day-to-day stress.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will help you identify goals and pick methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific online session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and day-to-day life. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skill practice to work well through a screen or a call, keeping the focus on skills you can use between sessions.
