About Chriselda

Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a psychologist in Maryland who helps people handle stress, career pressure, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with adults facing trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the everyday challenges that make life feel stuck. Her way of working is straightforward and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

She blends practical cognitive-behavioral techniques with psychodynamic thinking to address both current problems and deeper patterns. Sessions focus on habits, thoughts, and actions that can change now while also looking at past experiences that shape present reactions. That combination aims to make new patterns feel usable in real life.

Her approach is collaborative and goal oriented. Clients and Dr. Fleming set a few clear goals, track progress, and revise plans when needed. She emphasizes learning skills, testing small changes, and building confidence in decision making.

With 27 years of experience, she draws on a long history of helping people move through big life changes, trauma, and career strain. She aims to be steady and respectful while offering practical tools that fit day-to-day demands.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Dr. Fleming commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work stress. Psychodynamic work looks at early experiences and recurring relationship patterns to understand why certain feelings and reactions keep showing up, which can help with long-standing emotional patterns and relational issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide what fits best for a person's goals and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people use techniques learned in sessions in real-life settings between meetings. Ask about the session options during scheduling to match format and timing to your routine.
