About

Dr. Chelsea Dumas is a clinical psychologist licensed to practice in both Michigan and Illinois and holds a Doctor of Psychology degree. With 12 years of clinical experience, she has worked with a wide range of people and concerns across the lifespan.

Her therapeutic approach blends family-systems, cognitive-behavioral, and client-centered methods. She seeks to understand how a person’s environment - including family, work, and broader social influences - affects their ability to solve problems. At the same time she often explores the connections among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and collaborates with clients to shift patterns that are no longer helpful.

Dr. Dumas specializes in working with individuals affected by substance use, including people who are currently using, those trying to stop, long-term recovery, and the family members and friends affected by substance use. She also has substantial experience treating depression, anxiety, and symptoms related to stressful events and trauma, and she supports clients with family and relationship issues, life transitions, sleep difficulties, body image and self-esteem concerns, motivation, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

She respects that asking for help takes courage and is often humbled by the strength people show in reaching out. Dr. Dumas works at each client’s pace and focuses on the goals that matter most to them, and she welcomes the opportunity to support individuals seeking change.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes - online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment. Research and clinical experience indicate that these kinds of issues respond well to virtual care in most cases. A major benefit of remote therapy is flexibility. People can choose the interaction style that suits them best, whether that’s a video session, a phone call, live chat, or ongoing messaging. This range of options makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy can provide a practical, accessible path to support for many common mental health and life concerns.
