Dr. Chriselda Fleming

Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a psychologist in Maryland who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She has worked with adults for more than two decades and focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use right away. Her approach aims to reduce the daily overwhelm that gets in the way of feeling like yourself again.

She combines hands-on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic ideas about how earlier experiences shape current patterns. Sessions focus on what is most urgent in the present - thoughts, habits, and reactions that can be changed - while also looking at recurring themes that keep coming up. That mix lets people learn skills and also make sense of why those skills matter.

In the room she prioritizes concrete goals and steady progress. Clients set a few clear targets, practice new skills between visits, and review what helps. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level.

Her background spans 27 years of clinical practice. That experience includes helping people facing trauma, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, attention challenges like ADHD, and struggles related to grief, caregiving, addiction, and body image. She also supports people dealing with career stress and compassion fatigue.

Starting is straightforward: prospective clients use the site Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's calendar. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Fleming uses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic ideas in her practice. CBT focuses on practical steps - identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and past experiences that influence how someone reacts now, helping make sense of why certain triggers feel so big.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That means trying a practical skill set, shifting to deeper reflection, or combining both as needed.

Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions, and the therapist will help decide how to structure appointments to match your daily life.
