Chelsee Najjar

Chelsee Najjar, LMHC, helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. She works with clients who are navigating LGBTQ+ concerns, intimacy and self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. Her tone is warm and straightforward, focused on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier day to day.

In sessions she listens closely and adapts to each person’s needs. She blends talk-based work with practical exercises that help shift thinking and behavior. That can mean trying new ways to handle intense emotions, building clearer communication, or practicing small habits that improve mood and connection.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking steps that match those values. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help clients notice difficult feelings without being overwhelmed.

With eight years of experience as a Florida licensed mental health counselor, she focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Clients often bring issues related to family of origin, shame, impulsivity, or complex relationship dynamics. Chelsee pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and helps people build new options.

She encourages small, achievable steps and clear goals. Work may include learning emotion regulation skills, improving boundaries, or working through feelings tied to abandonment or identity. The emphasis is practical - skills you can use between sessions to feel more connected and capable.

How chosen approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions feel heavy. It can be useful for loneliness, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on actions that build meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. That approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want concrete tools to change daily patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what matters most to them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific remote formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, let you check in from a quieter spot, or choose a shorter session for a quick skills review. Licensed professionals can guide homework, mindfulness practices, and values-based actions that you can use between meetings to build connection and reduce isolation.
