About Chelsey

Chelsey Fleishman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience. She is based in Idaho and lists concerns including stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep struggles, parenting, career changes, and coping with life transitions.

Chelsey earned a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Family Studies and Interpersonal Trauma Studies from the University of Denver in 2014, and she received her LCSW in 2018. She also holds the CSW credential. Her training included attention to family systems and trauma-related responses.

In sessions she uses person-centered ways of working and adapts her approach to each individual. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and try different responses in daily life. That often means setting simple goals and experimenting with new habits between meetings.

Chelsey pays attention to how culture and family history influence behavior. She helps people name patterns that cause distress, such as difficulty saying no, people-pleasing, or living around someone else’s mood or substance use. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try right away.

The tone of sessions is direct and pragmatic. Chelsey encourages clear communication, boundary practice, and small skill-building exercises. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, codependency concerns, parenting strains, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, and trauma-related symptoms.

How sessions work

How Chelsey Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves naming upsetting thoughts, testing them against real events, and trying new actions to see if feelings change. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small, practical steps toward those goals. This approach emphasizes what is already working and builds on it with focused, manageable experiments that a person can try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helped before, trying an approach, and changing course if something isn’t working.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. These practical benefits help people try consistent, skill-focused work without reshuffling their whole schedule.
