Chelsey Diaz

Chelsey Diaz is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with major life changes, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Chelsey meets people where they are and speaks English and Spanish.

Chelsey's approach is warm and conversational. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are tailored to each person, with a focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.

She often uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck.

Chelsey has eight years of experience working in clinical settings and community care in Michigan. She has particular interest in multicultural concerns and supporting people from the Latinx community. She also enjoys working with teens and young adults.

Her schedule includes evenings and weekends when possible, and she works with clients to find times that fit both of them. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. It can help people who need a supportive space to talk through identity, parenting stress, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be helpful when someone wants to make shifts in behavior but feels uncertain or stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and what shows progress over time. The plan can change as needs evolve.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow flexible scheduling like evenings or weekends, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let sessions match the pace someone prefers.
