About Chelsey
Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Virginia and works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and the changes life brings.
Chelsey draws on decades of work in civilian, military, and hospital settings. She is a veteran and has experience supporting people affected by chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her background includes work as a transplant social worker and efforts around health inequities and social justice.
In sessions she listens to what matters now and looks at how past family patterns or life events still shape daily choices. She asks direct questions and offers concrete strategies. She can help identify small changes that reduce overwhelming feelings and improve coping with hard moments.
Her approach uses practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused work, and Trauma-Focused techniques. That mix supports short-term goals and longer conversations about difficult memories or recurring patterns from the family someone grew up in.
Chelsey says she will challenge clients when needed and supports people who want to make change. She encourages clear, honest talk about goals and progress. If someone wants a clinician with experience in medical and military-adjacent settings, her background aligns with those areas.
How her methods translate to online work
Many of the approaches she uses are straightforward to adapt to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often involves homework and short exercises between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters most to a person and boosts readiness to change through focused questions and reflective listening. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and clear goals, making it useful for brief problem-solving and quick adjustments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsey will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others use phone sessions for quieter, lower-bandwidth check-ins; discuss what fits your routine and comfort when you schedule.
