What Chelsea says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hi, I’m Chelsea Mayo!

Life is full of changes, transitions, and unexpected turns, and sometimes it can be hard to navigate them on your own. I’m passionate about helping people find their way through these seasons of life, whether you’re facing a career change, relationship challenges, a major life milestone, or simply trying to better understand yourself and who you’re becoming.

With seven years of experience in therapeutic practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through a wide range of life experiences. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which means I believe in meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and honoring your unique experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring what’s on your mind, and moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe therapy is a place where you can show up just as you are. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating uncertainty, or hoping to create meaningful change in your life, we can work together to explore what matters most to you and help you find a path forward that feels authentic.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems, and I strive to make therapy a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood. If you’re looking for a secular, non-religious approach to therapy, I’m happy to provide a space that aligns with your values and beliefs.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you work through change, reconnect with yourself, and discover what moving forward looks like for you.

03 · How Chelsea works

The 5 approaches Chelsea lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Chelsea lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Chelsea's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Chelsea runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Chelsea practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Chelsea's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Chelsea at this point.

2. Naming Chelsea specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Chelsea is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Chelsea.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Chelsea

Built from what Chelsea actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Chelsea's - Chelsea has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Chelsea's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 5 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Chelsea. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
