Chelsea P​o​u​l​o​sLMSW

Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (licensed Master of Social Work) with ten years of experience in clinical settings. She offers calm, patient support for people facing common life stresses. She aims to meet clients where they are and set clear goals together.

Chelsea works with adults coping with anxiety, stress, depression, and grief. She also supports people managing parenting challenges, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. Relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD are among the issues she addresses.

Her style is thoughtful and steady. She uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also brings solution-focused methods to identify practical steps clients can use right away.

Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events are affecting daily life. Chelsea adapts each session to what a person needs that day, balancing structured strategies with space to talk things through. Her goal is to help clients build skills that fit into everyday life.

Chelsea practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the intake process and to schedule appointments based on her availability. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

How Chelsea's approaches shape online care

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns formed in early relationships. Chelsea uses this approach to help people notice how those patterns show up now, especially in parenting, relationships, and feelings of connection.

Client-centered methods put the person's priorities first. Chelsea listens without judgment, follows what matters most to each person, and helps set goals based on their values and everyday needs.

Solution-focused techniques aim for practical change. Sessions often include small, doable steps clients can try between meetings to reduce stress or improve communication at home.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will talk with each person about their goals and try different strategies to see what fits best. She combines approaches when that helps reach a client's immediate priorities while addressing deeper patterns over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen around work or family responsibilities. Chelsea uses practical exercises and goal-setting that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply changes in real life.
