About Chelsea
Chelsea Vargas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers practical, down-to-earth support for adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Chelsea uses clear tools and steady listening to help people get through hard times.
She brings three years of experience across outpatient, hospital, and crisis settings. That background means she is used to working with people facing both mental health and substance use challenges.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Chelsea draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. She uses those methods to teach skills for coping, managing intense emotions, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions also leave room for emotional processing and making meaning of experiences. Her style is trauma-informed and strengths-based. Chelsea treats each person as the expert of their own life and partners with them to build insight and practical strategies.
She aims to help people reconnect with a sense of self and move toward more balance. Therapy with Chelsea typically focuses on concrete skills, problem solving, and steady emotional support. She works with issues like addiction, postpartum depression, first responder stress, and challenges related to autism and intellectual disability.
Conversations are organized to help you leave with clearer next steps.

Online support
CBT and DBT tools delivered online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Chelsea uses CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical plans to change them. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related problems.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches concrete skills for handling intense feelings and navigating difficult interactions, which can help with self-destructive behaviors and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The first sessions often combine skill-building with time to understand the person’s history and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Sessions can be done by video calls when visual cues are helpful, by phone for lower bandwidth or a simpler check-in, or through live chat and text-based messaging for short updates and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit regular work on coping skills into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between live conversations.
