- Chelsea O’Neill
Chelsea O'Neill is an Associate Clinical Social Worker who specializes in guiding clients through the transformative journey of "coming home to themselves" after experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression.
With a deep passion for helping individuals recognize their inherent worth and strengths, she creates a therapeutic environment where clients can develop healthier beliefs about themselves while learning practical tools for emotional regulation. Chelsea particularly enjoys working with trauma survivors, understanding that healing involves not just processing difficult experiences but also rebuilding a compassionate relationship with oneself.
Her therapeutic approach integrates multiple evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). This comprehensive toolkit allows her to address both the symptoms and underlying patterns that contribute to emotional distress. As a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, Chelsea brings specialized expertise in helping clients develop present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that support lasting healing. Her training in Exposure and Response Prevention equips her with powerful tools for helping clients overcome anxiety disorders and phobias through structured, evidence-based interventions.
With a Master's degree in Social Work and specialized training in trauma-informed care, Chelsea brings both academic knowledge and practical expertise to her therapeutic practice. Her education has provided her with a comprehensive understanding of human behavior, social systems, and the complex factors that influence mental health. This foundation, combined with her specialized certifications in mindfulness and exposure therapy, allows her to offer clients a well-rounded approach to healing that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term resilience.
Outside the therapy room, Chelsea nurtures her own well-being through practices that mirror the mindfulness and self-care she encourages in her clients. She finds renewal through reading, which feeds her curiosity and continuous learning, and peaceful moments at the beach that provide natural grounding and perspective. Music plays an important role in her life, offering both emotional expression and relaxation. When time allows, Chelsea enjoys traveling, experiences that broaden her cultural understanding and inform her commitment to celebrating diversity in her therapeutic work.
