About Chriselda
Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a Maryland-based psychologist with 27 years of experience helping people tackle anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works with adults who want clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day coping.
Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at small changes that add up. She mixes concrete skill-building with deeper exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
Brief psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that come from past experience and still influence current reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on setting a few clear goals and using tools you can practice between meetings. That might include skill practice for managing frustration, strategies to reduce impulsive reactions, and ways to handle stress that drains energy. Progress is tracked and plans are adjusted as needed.
Dr. Fleming also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and trauma-focused methods when those fit a person’s situation. These approaches can help with emotion regulation, relationships, and recovering from overwhelming events.
Her work aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can make practical changes while understanding the experiences that shape them. The focus is on helping clients feel more confident, more connected to their goals, and more able to manage everyday challenges.

Online approaches that combine skills and insight
Dr. Fleming commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to help when feelings become overwhelming or impulsive.She also brings psychodynamic ideas into teletherapy by gently exploring patterns from past experiences that influence current reactions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for a full-session conversation, phone can fit a quicker check-in, live chat is useful for brief exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use tools in real time.
