About Chelsea
Chelsea Luebbert is a licensed social worker and medical doctor who brings a decade of experience to outpatient care in Maryland. She encourages people to reach out when life feels overwhelming and believes therapy is a way to build better self-support. Chelsea writes plainly and listens closely to each person who comes to her practice.
Her background includes work at an eating disorders center providing individual, family, and group support for adolescents and adults.
Background and approach
During the COVID-19 pandemic she worked on an inpatient psychiatry unit helping adults with chronic mental illness and addictions. This range of settings shaped a flexible, practical approach to common struggles. Chelsea combines narrative ideas with attachment-informed thinking and client-centered care.
She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical strategies when they suit a person’s goals. In sessions she helps people tell their story, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that matter day to day. She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
Chelsea also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or messaging. Chelsea works collaboratively to set goals and adjust approaches as needs change.
To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first meeting.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
People often begin with Narrative Therapy to untangle the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps separate a person from problematic labels and opens space for new, preferred stories. It can be useful for identity, body image, grief, and relationship concerns.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current patterns. In a few straightforward conversations a therapist can point out repeating patterns in relationships and help someone try new ways of relating. This is helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment worries, and communication problems.
Chelsea treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She listens to goals and tries options together, using narrative techniques alongside attachment work or practical CBT and DBT skills as needed. Finding the right mix is part of early sessions and can change over time as progress happens.
Online sessions can fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to process between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, caregiving, or medical needs.
