About Chelsee
Chelsee Najjar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and LGBTQ concerns, and lists life purpose among her focus areas. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health and want to figure out what comes next.
Chelsee uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in everyday life. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values.
Her style draws on client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing. That means conversations are collaborative and aimed at strengthening a person’s own motivation to act. She guides people to set realistic steps and to notice what helps or gets in the way.
Chelsee has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including abandonment, family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, isolation, and midlife questions about meaning. She also notes work with topics such as adoption and foster care histories, communication problems, and aspects of alternative sex culture like BDSM and kink.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and small experiments that can fit into daily life. People can expect straightforward feedback, tools for managing anxiety or low mood, and support sorting values and life purpose without promises of a specific outcome.
How Chelsee integrates ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Chelsee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to choose actions that match what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, emptiness, and life purpose questions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical for stress, panic, low mood, and improving self-esteem. Alongside these, client-centered methods keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and motivations through reflective listening and collaborative planning.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will help decide which methods fit the client’s goals and day-to-day life, and adapt techniques as needed. Work is framed as trying things, noticing results, and adjusting plans together.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are held. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness and behavioral experiments in real-life settings and then discuss what happened in the next session.
