About Chelsee
Chelsee Najjar is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-related matters. She also notes a focused interest in guilt and shame alongside family of origin issues and abandonment.
Chelsee keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses clear questions and reflective listening to help people identify what matters to them. She helps clients notice patterns that keep painful feelings going and then try out different ways of responding.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment work, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to break down big feelings into manageable steps and build small, usable skills. Sessions often include exercises, homework, and plain conversation about progress.
Chelsee pays attention to relationships and background issues that shape current feelings. She helps people talk through family of origin concerns, issues of abandonment, and how past experiences can feed shame or guilt. She also supports people exploring sexuality, kink, and intimacy questions without judgement.
People can expect a steady, practical approach that focuses on real-world change. She asks about goals and checks in on what's working. Those who want to begin are guided through a short intake and scheduling process to set up an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to clarify what matters to them. In practice this can help with persistent guilt or anxiety by focusing on values and small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to test unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness work trains simple noticing skills that reduce reactivity and increase the ability to choose responses instead of reacting automatically.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust direction as progress and needs become clearer. That collaborative stance helps people try methods without committing to any single label up front.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she runs online visits. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, or make it possible to meet without travel. If quieter surroundings, less bandwidth, or a camera-free option matter, mention that during the intake and the therapist will discuss what practical session arrangements are possible.
