About Chelsea
Dr. Chelsea Bennett is an LISW and LCSW practicing with six years of experience and licensed to practice in Ohio (LISW) and Indiana (LCSW). She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. She also works with people on parenting, career questions, self-esteem, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns.
She uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches she uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills.
Clients can expect direct work on communication and problem solving for family and relationship concerns, including blended family and adoption or foster care issues. She also addresses patterns like impulsivity, control problems, infidelity, and isolation with focused strategies. The Gottman Method and solution-focused techniques are used when relationship skills are the main goal.
Her style emphasizes active collaboration: setting goals, tracking progress, and adjusting methods as needed. She supports people dealing with first responder and veteran issues, life-purpose questions, and the fallout from domestic violence or divorce.
Chelsea keeps language simple and practical in sessions. She guides clients through specific exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments so they can test new ways of responding outside sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Bennett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in focused, skills-based ways. CBT helps people spot thought patterns and try specific behavior experiments to test new responses. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. DBT skills offer concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to set goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences, then adjust based on what is helpful. This means sessions can shift between skills practice, problem-solving, and values-based action depending on progress.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it simpler to have short check-ins when needed. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other options are available. Online sessions let people apply tools from therapy in their everyday routines without needing extra travel time.
