Chelsee Najjar

Chelsee Najjar is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Chelsee also focuses on life purpose questions and midlife transition worries.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Chelsee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice what matters and take small, manageable steps. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven into sessions when they fit the client's goals.

Chelsee often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, feelings of abandonment, and shame or guilt that get in the way of daily life. She supports people dealing with isolation, impulse problems, and the strains of complex relationships or alternative sexual cultures. Sessions address communication problems and co-occurring concerns rather than only one issue at a time.

Her approach is conversational and goal oriented. Conversations include real-world strategies like behavior experiments, values clarification, and short homework to try between meetings. Clients can expect guidance in naming priorities, testing new ways of behaving, and reflecting on what feels meaningful.

Working with Chelsee is presented as a practical partnership. She helps people figure out where to start, how to set manageable goals, and how to track small changes that matter for daily functioning and life purpose.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It often helps with anxiety, avoidance, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering reflective listening and support while clients decide their path forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chelsee treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what has helped before and what small steps to try next.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions useful for working through stress, testing new behaviors between meetings, and keeping momentum while making life changes.
