About Chelsea
Dr. Chelsea Bennett is an LISW, LCSW practicing in Indiana with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career questions. She also works with people facing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, communication and control problems, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
In sessions she focuses on clear, workable strategies rather than jargon. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at reducing overwhelming feelings and improving day-to-day coping. Expect step-by-step skills practice alongside talking things through.
Her background includes clinical social work practice and two state-level credentials: LISW and LCSW. Those credentials reflect clinical social work training and licensure in Ohio and Indiana. Over six years she has supported people with trauma, relationship problems, and impulse-related concerns among other issues.
Her approach draws on therapies that teach skills and change patterns, including acceptance-based work, cognitive strategies, and behavioral skills training. She also uses relationship-focused tools for communication and solution-focused methods for short-term goals. The work is collaborative - the person sets goals and tests what helps in everyday life.
People who come for help with anger can expect direct talk about triggers, concrete behavioral moves to interrupt escalation, and practice in rebuilding trust after heated moments. The focus is on practical steps to manage strong feelings and improve interactions over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and for moments when anger gets in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting the thought patterns that fuel upsetting emotions and testing different, more helpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger that comes from distorted thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are helpful when anger escalates rapidly or when impulsive choices follow strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and what feels doable day to day. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and DBT skills so the work fits the client’s schedule and aims.
