About Chelsee
Chelsee Najjar is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses family of origin issues and related struggles that come from early relationships.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Clients talk through current problems and learn skills to manage emotions and behavior. She combines evidence-based approaches to make what happens in sessions feel useful and manageable.
In practice she focuses on patterns that started in childhood and still show up now. That can include how people handle closeness, conflict, expectations, or a sense of emptiness. Sessions look at how those patterns affect daily life and relationships today.
Her style is collaborative and problem-focused. She helps people set small goals and practice new ways of responding between sessions. Techniques may include mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, and goal-oriented conversation.
Prior to counseling, she spent time developing skills in motivation and practical change work. Those experiences inform how she supports people through midlife questions, identity concerns, and life transitions. The emphasis is on learning concrete tools people can use right away.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when old family patterns cause avoidance or confusion about what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing habitual responses learned in childhood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, or client-centered conversation fits best. That decision is based on your goals, concerns, and what feels most helpful in practice.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about which session arrangements will best fit your schedule and needs.
