   About Chelsee

   Chelsee Najjar is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and aimed at helping clients feel seen and heard quickly.

   She often works with people facing life transitions, social anxiety, and questions about identity and relationships. Sessions focus on building practical skills for everyday life, improving communication, and reducing shame and isolation. Chelsee emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.

   Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are part of her approach, along with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered methods. These methods are used to help clients clarify values, manage difficult thoughts, and take steps toward meaningful goals.

   Over eight years of practice have shaped a calm, steady approach that balances listening with actionable steps. She supports people in sorting out family of origin issues, forgiveness, and struggles tied to abandonment or adoption histories. The work also covers concerns such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness.

   Chelsee invites clients to explore their goals at a pace that fits them. She helps people create plans for change and tests what works in real life. Before booking, visitors should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversation-style approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and confidence, which can help with habits, avoidance, or engagement in therapy.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and people who feel stuck and want a clearer sense of purpose.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to create a supportive space for exploration and growth.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsee will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps.
   
   Please confirm available session formats before booking, as current session options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness or exposure practices in real-life settings with therapist guidance.
