Chelsea Luebbert, LCSW-C

Chelsea Luebbert is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience in mental health care. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. Chelsea focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes with practical, steady support.

Chelsea’s clinical path includes work at a center for eating disorders and on an inpatient psychiatry unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those roles involved individual, family, and group work with adolescents and adults, and work with people facing addictions and chronic mental illness. She now practices in Maryland in an outpatient capacity.

In sessions she prefers a straightforward, collaborative style. She listens, helps clients name what matters, and then tries concrete strategies that fit daily life. Therapy often includes building new habits, practicing emotion regulation skills, and addressing painful patterns in relationships.

Chelsea draws on several approaches when planning care. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates dialectical behavior skills and existential ideas when relevant.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, eating issues, ADHD, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intimacy or sexuality questions. Sessions are conducted in English. For details on formats and scheduling, confirm current session options before booking.

How Chelsea’s approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they react in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead; the therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend or blend methods that seem most useful. That way the plan fits what the client wants and what actually helps in daily life.

Confirm current online session options before booking. When arranged, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more feasible. For some people, video or audio sessions help keep momentum between in-person visits. Chelsea will discuss what format works best for scheduling, energy level, and the specific issues you want to address.
