About Chelsee

Chelsee Najjar is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports clients navigating LGBT issues and related identity concerns. Her tone is direct and practical, focused on small steps that make daily life easier.

She works in a calm, nonjudgmental way and keeps conversations centered on the client's goals. Sessions often look at unhelpful thoughts, patterns in relationships, and ways to reconnect with values that matter. Mindfulness exercises and focused skill practice are used when they fit the person's needs.

Chelsee draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. She uses these tools to help people notice what matters most and to try new ways of responding to stress and mood shifts. She also brings motivational interviewing to conversations about change and readiness.

Her practice pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment experiences, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. She also addresses concerns such as isolation, guilt, impulsivity, and difficulties with communication. Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries and more satisfying daily routines.

With eight years of clinical experience, Chelsee focuses on practical progress over time. People who prefer a straightforward, collaborative approach may find her style a good fit. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what truly matters and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or emotions are uncomfortable. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and rebuilding direction after big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to find their own solutions. This approach supports identity questions, relationship worries, and difficult emotions like shame or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so more energy can go toward the session itself. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote appointments.
