Dr. Chelsea Bennett, LISW, LCSW

Dr. Chelsea Bennett is an LISW and LCSW with six years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and anger. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside solution-focused strategies and Gottman Method techniques. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small changes, and building concrete skills to manage strong feelings and impulses.

Chelsea works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those dealing with family of origin problems, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, or domestic violence histories. She also supports people facing control problems, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, or challenges tied to first responder and veteran experiences.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She talks through current stresses, practices coping strategies in session, and tracks what helps between meetings. Practical tools might include behavior experiments, mindfulness exercises, communication skills, and short-term action plans.

Clients can expect clear goal-setting and an emphasis on usable skills. The work aims to reduce reactive responses and increase choice around difficult situations rather than promise a fixed outcome. For someone who snaps at loved ones or carries mounting resentment, her focus is on learning new responses and managing anger in everyday life.
