Chelsey Flohe, LCSW

Chelsey Flohe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes, and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Chelsey draws on long work in civilian, military, and hospital settings. She is a female Veteran and has worked as a transplant social worker, which shaped her interest in chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also pays attention to health inequities and social justice in how problems show up for people.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Chelsey will listen, reflect what she hears, and offer tools to help with symptoms and daily functioning. She will also challenge clients when needed so they can move past stuck points and regain momentum.

Her work includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to address mood concerns, trauma and abuse, body image and eating issues, and concerns that come with chronic pain, disability, or aging.

Chelsey is based in Virginia and brings experience with first responder and veteran issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, fertility and family of origin concerns, and multicultural matters. People who want a straightforward, experience-informed partner for coping with health challenges and life transitions may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through small behavioral changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, and daily coping when symptoms interfere with routine.

Trauma-Focused Therapy works by gently addressing traumatic memories and their effects on current life. It aims to reduce distressing symptoms and improve functioning after abuse or traumatic events.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Chelsey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques so they fit the client's pace and needs, and makes decisions together about what to try next.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus is on practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
