About Chelsey
Chelsey Fleishman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience based in Idaho. She holds a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Family Studies and Interpersonal Trauma Studies from the University of Denver. Chelsey lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting, career strain, and coping with life changes.
Chelsey uses practical, goal-focused approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build clearer coping steps. Conversations tend to focus on concrete skills and short-term goals rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes attention to how family, culture, and past experiences shape reactions and behavior. She helps people name those influences and then practices different responses in session. That might mean examining thoughts that fuel guilt and shame, trying small behavior experiments, or planning steps to improve communication.
Chelsey has worked with issues tied to parenting, adoption and foster care, fertility and pregnancy, postpartum depression, and relationship problems. She also lists experience with trauma, domestic violence, self-harm, panic, and grief. Her stated focus includes helping people confront guilt and shame and rebuild daily routines like sleep and parenting tasks.
Sessions tend to be practical, straightforward, and collaborative. Chelsey invites people to identify small, doable changes and tracks progress across sessions. She recommends confirming current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts and uses exercises people can practice between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that keep guilt alive.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting specific goals and looking for small changes that move a person toward those goals. It emphasizes practical steps and noticing what already works, which can help when someone wants clearer routines or quicker problem-solving strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises to work in remote sessions, using practical homework and focused agendas so sessions fit into everyday life.
