Chelsea Luebbert

Chelsea Luebbert is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who has spent a decade in mental health practice. She helps people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or career strain. Her work is practical and focused on what feels useful in daily life.

Chelsea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and holds an LCSW-C in Maryland. Early in her career she provided family, individual, and group therapy at a center for eating disorders, working with adolescents and adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic she practiced on an inpatient psychiatry unit, supporting adults with chronic mental illness and addictions.

In outpatient practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are tools she offers for managing mood, anxiety, and intense emotions.

Sessions involve listening, problem-solving, and trying small changes that fit a client’s life. Chelsea aims to help people build more self-understanding and clearer steps forward, whether the focus is eating concerns, substance use, ADHD, or career transitions.

She works with people experiencing a broad range of issues including trauma, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and burnout. The first meetings focus on what you want to work on and what would feel most helpful going forward.

Approaches that shape online work and goals

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and fear so they can try different ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps build on strengths the client already has.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-based CBT tool one week and spending the next session exploring relationship patterns with attachment ideas.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks from work or school. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use video when helpful, or opt for sessions that focus on skill practice rather than long conversations. A therapist can explain which formats they offer and help tailor sessions to your goals.
