About Chelsey
Chelsey Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with five years of experience working in North Carolina and South Carolina. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. She also supports people facing life changes and challenges related to ADHD and mood disorders.
Chelsey takes a straightforward approach. She listens to current struggles and helps identify thinking patterns and habits that keep problems going. Sessions use clear, practical strategies to test new ways of responding to stress and worry.
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered conversation and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. That means sessions include goal-focused work, skills practice, and calm-awareness exercises to manage strong emotions.
Chelsey aims to make sessions a place to talk through what’s happening now and try concrete steps that change daily life. She explains ideas in plain language and checks in about what’s working between sessions. Progress is measured in small, doable changes rather than vague promises.
People bring a range of concerns, including grief, relationship strain, infertility and pregnancy issues, body image, and questions about gender and sexual identity. She also offers support around aging and end-of-life topics, forgiveness, and rebuilding after separation or infidelity.
How online sessions use CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that affect mood. Online CBT sessions usually involve setting clear goals, practicing short exercises, and reviewing results between meetings to track progress.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflection. In an online setting this means the therapist asks open questions, summarizes what the client reports, and helps the person notice what matters most to them as they set goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for handling strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Online DBT-influenced work often includes short skills coaching, mindful attention practices, and step-by-step emotion regulation techniques useful for anxiety, impulsivity, or mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep or change.
