About Chriselda

Dr. Chriselda Fleming brings 27 years of clinical experience working with adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a variety of life transitions.

Background and approach

Dr. Fleming applies a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify habits and thought patterns that get in the way of daily functioning while also exploring deeper experiences that influence current behavior and emotional life.

Her work combines evidence-based techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy with psychodynamic insight and trauma-focused perspectives to address problems such as addictions, grief, compassion fatigue, eating and body-image issues, and caregiver stress. She aims to offer a steady, respectful therapeutic environment where clients can learn new coping skills, set measurable goals, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Based in Maryland and licensed as an MD psychologist (04776), Dr. Fleming offers sessions that accommodate different needs and schedules.

She encourages prospective clients to consider therapy as a collaborative process that can increase confidence, ease day-to-day strain, and support clearer decision-making over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Fleming commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many day-to-day challenges. She also integrates trauma-focused therapy to address the lasting effects of traumatic experiences, concentrating on stabilizing symptoms and processing events in ways that reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Fleming works with each person to clarify goals, weighs different methods based on the presenting concerns, and adjusts the plan as progress is monitored and preferences become clearer. Clients participate in setting goals and selecting strategies so treatment aligns with their needs.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people with varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between meetings, and fit therapy into busy routines while working with a licensed professional from Maryland.
