Chelsea Luebbert, LCSW-C

Chelsea Luebbert is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with a decade of experience in mental health. She draws on years of hands-on work to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people find new ways to manage day-to-day struggles.

She completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and has worked across settings. Early in her career she provided individual, family, and group therapy at a center for eating disorders. During the COVID-19 pandemic she worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit supporting adults with chronic mental health and addiction concerns. More recently she moved into outpatient practice to concentrate on ongoing, collaborative care.

In sessions she uses practical methods from attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered listening. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of communicating. The work often focuses on relationships, self-esteem, grief, and coping with major life transitions.

Chelsea also brings skills from dialectical behavior approaches and existential work when clients need better emotion regulation or want to discuss meaning and values. She integrates these methods to match each person’s goals rather than following a single script. Clients can expect a calm, direct clinician who encourages clear goals and steady progress.

If you want to start, Chelsea asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on her availability. She works in Maryland and conducts sessions in English.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice this looks like talking about patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease anxiety and depression. It often involves homework like trying a new routine or tracking thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

If you prefer online care, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many clients find that working this way helps them practice skills in real-life settings and keep momentum between appointments.
