About Chelsea

Chelsea Luebbert brings a decade of experience in mental health care to her practice and balances clinical knowledge with a compassionate, practical approach. She holds an MD and is licensed as an LCSW-C in Maryland, credentials that reflect both medical training and advanced social work practice.

Background and approach

Over her career she has worked in settings that included eating disorder treatment, inpatient psychiatry, and outpatient care, gaining exposure to a wide range of concerns from mood disorders to addictions and trauma.

Her style centers on helping people develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions while also addressing issues like grief, body image, and compassion fatigue. Chelsea draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Existential Therapy to create tailored plans that match each person’s needs and values.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, practical tools, and building self-support so clients can make sustainable changes. Based in Maryland, she offers multiple remote session formats to increase accessibility.

Prospective clients who are ready to explore coaching, coping strategies, or deeper therapeutic work can expect an empathetic clinician who values clarity, mutual respect, and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationships shape patterns of trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation; it helps clients explore connection issues and repair relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, using empathy and acceptance to foster insight and personal growth while promoting self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and addressing ADHD-related challenges through structure and skill building.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work together with each client to identify goals, test different strategies, and adapt methods based on what is most helpful for the individual’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with this practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life. These formats allow sessions to occur from different locations, support regular check-ins between appointments, and provide options for people who prefer brief written communication or real-time conversation over video. Licensed professionals can tailor format and frequency to match each person’s schedule and therapeutic goals.
