About Chelsea

Chelsea Poulos is an LMSW (Licensed Master of Social Work) with 10 years of experience in clinical practice. She focuses on everyday stresses and deeper wounds alike, helping people handle anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and trauma. Her tone is patient and approachable, and she aims to meet people where they are.

She uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective is combined with solution-focused work to set clear, practical goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist decide together what to try next. Chelsea often supports people dealing with relationship and family conflicts, communication problems, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. She also works with those facing neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability issues, and ADHD-related struggles.

Postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress are additional areas she addresses. In sessions she focuses on concrete steps and small changes that build over time. Conversations are paced to the person's needs that day, with a mix of listening, reflection, and goal-oriented skill work.

Progress is tracked with short-term goals that can be adjusted as needed. Chelsea practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is adaptable for people seeking straightforward, relationally informed therapy that looks at both present challenges and the attachment patterns that influence them.

Online support

Attachment-informed care offered online

Online sessions with Chelsea typically draw on attachment-based therapy and solution-focused work to address relationship patterns and practical problems. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions, helping people recognize patterns and try new ways of connecting. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and small, doable steps to change what isn't working right now.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative testing helps identify what feels most useful and what to adjust as therapy progresses.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection, and all formats support flexible scheduling for work and caregiving routines.
