About Chelsea
Dr. Chelsea Bennett is an LISW and an LCSW licensed in Ohio and Indiana with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family matters, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coaching. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care and blended family issues.
Bennett uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In conversation she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and set doable goals.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life problems. She guides clients through managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling loyalty or boundary challenges that come with new households. Work often includes short tools to use between meetings and steps to try at home.
Her background includes clinical work with trauma and related concerns. Bennett frames difficulties like grief, impulsivity, or addiction as problems that can be addressed with specific strategies rather than as fixed labels. She invites people to try practical experiments and to review what helps.
For someone in a stepfamily or blended household, she can help with communication, co-parenting stress, and navigating changing roles. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It teaches values-based action so someone can take steps toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, which can be useful for impulsivity, intense anger, or relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test methods that suit their needs and preferences. Sessions may shift between skills practice, problem-solving, and reviewing what is or is not helping.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and can allow for shorter check-ins when a full meeting would be difficult. They also let people try tools in their everyday routine and bring real-life examples into the conversation to see what works.
