About Chelsea
Chelsea Sudderth, Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), practices in Michigan and has eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and work-related concerns such as career and coaching. She describes her approach as individual and client-centered and emphasizes practical work toward healing.
Chelsea uses talk-based methods to help people manage symptoms and handle everyday challenges. Sessions center on clear goals and skills practice. She often addresses attention and mood regulation, coping with life changes, and eating or body-image concerns.
Her trauma work pays attention to how past experiences affect present reactions. Chelsea aims to help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and build routines that reduce distress. She names both complex trauma and dissociation among areas she attends to.
She also works with mood disorders and behavioral concerns related to personality and attachment. Examples she lists include attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality traits, antisocial and avoidant personality concerns, and disruptive mood challenges. Communication and commitment problems are included in her focus list.
Chelsea draws from several therapeutic methods. She lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy. Those approaches guide how she structures sessions and selects exercises.
Sessions are conducted in English. She notes empathy from having received therapy herself and frames the work as collaborative, with attention to immediate needs and longer-term change.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people move toward meaningful activity even when uncomfortable feelings are present and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses structured exercises and skill practice to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and goals. It supports people who need a steady, nonprescriptive space to talk through feelings and make decisions.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Chelsea will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate to find the best fit. That may mean focusing on skill practice one week and values-based work the next.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into the day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk-based methods and structured exercises adapt well to remote sessions, and Chelsea will work with clients to arrange a setup that meets their scheduling and activity needs.
