About Chelsey
Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes as primary concerns she addresses.
She brings experience from civilian, military, and hospital settings and notes past work as a transplant social worker. That background contributes to a focus on chronic illness, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. She also notes attention to health inequities and social justice in her work.
Chelsey uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused approaches. Sessions emphasize clear steps and strategies rather than long, abstract discussion.
Clients can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper work on trauma or longstanding mood concerns. She says she will challenge people when they feel stuck and will help set concrete, achievable goals. Progress is measured in changes to daily routines, coping skills, and thought patterns.
The practice addresses a wide range of related concerns including chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image and eating concerns, fertility and hospice-related work, multicultural matters, and mood disorders. Chelsey practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. To arrange an initial match and schedule a first session, follow the platform steps provided.
How her clinical approaches translate to online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and routines that maintain stress and anxiety, then teaches concrete skills to test new responses. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build practical commitment to those goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and life circumstances. That discussion may change over time as goals and needs shift, and she will check in about what is working and what is not.
