Dr. Chriselda Fleming, Psychologist

Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a psychologist in Maryland who helps adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and the daily stresses that build up over time. She brings a calm, straightforward manner and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She mixes practical cognitive-behavioral techniques with psychodynamic listening to address both current patterns and the early experiences that still affect feelings today. Sessions look at habits, thoughts, and behaviors that can be changed, while also noticing the deeper emotions and memories that shape how someone reacts.

Her work often centers on clear goals and measurable progress. Clients learn coping skills, experiment with new ways of responding, and track how small changes add up. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Dr. Fleming draws on 27 years of clinical experience to support people through challenges such as addiction, grief, body-image concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and struggles with isolation and control.

Getting started is straightforward: a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right schedule, then the first session is arranged to fit available times. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier in daily life, make clearer choices, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they want to grow into.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with straightforward exercises and practice. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond well to skill-building and behavioral experiments.

Trauma-focused therapy targets the impact of traumatic events on everyday functioning by gently processing traumatic memories and teaching coping strategies to manage distress. It is used for trauma and abuse, dissociation, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and pace. Together they set small goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to apply skills between meetings, while still meeting with a licensed professional who can guide the process.
