About me

I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Missouri and Kansas and I have been practicing Social Work for almost 15 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, including medical social work, hospice/bereavement social work, and in private practice, working with a variety of ages and various populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and other mood disorders.

My therapeutic style is very warm and empathetic. My first goal in sessions is to make the client/s feel as comfortable as possible, especially when the situation is anxiety provoking. I offer a supportive and encouraging perspective while challenging and providing guidance when necessary to reach therapeutic goals. My therapeutic perspective is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral approaches, along with the addition of focusing on individual strengths and provide a reality therapy perspective. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Chelsea Deines. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

She’s a great listener and takes the time to be relatable instead of looking at me like in a super professional sense. I appreciate that and I love the transparency.

I have been working with Chelsea for a few months since the death of my boys’ dad. She is helping me to work through my grief and reassuring me every step of the way that my feelings are completely normal. She is really good about checking in with me often to see how things are going. She is helping me deal with things so that when I am with my family and friends, I don’t feel the need to share with them how I am doing. I am just keeping it between my therapist and me. I think it makes me a more calm person to be around.

Chelsea had been very helpful with helping me to understand where I am coming from and how it affected me.

She is amazing. Listens to what I have to say and she always lets me know that I’m doing fine. After a couple sessions I can already tell that I’m seeing things a little differently and I appreciate everything she does

Chelsea has been incredible at helping me work through grief. She is extremely professional and personable. She has 100% changed my perception of counseling. I look forward to our sessions.

Chelsea has helped me learn to direct my own life and be who I want to be. She has been there for me to vent to and bounce ideas off of. She is there when I feel lonely or lost. She is amazing.
