Consent to Treatment: Remember when you consented to treatment you understand this platform is not intended for crisis situations and urgent needs. In a crisis, you agree to call 988 or go to the local emergency room nearest your location. Scheduling Tips: Be mindful that I work part-time at Betterhelp.com. Be sure to review my calendar and schedule your first appointment as soon as possible. After each session it’s best to schedule for the following week. My schedule does fill up quickly, so please make yourself a priority. If you need more availability for scheduling, please research other therapists on Betterhelp. It’s okay to seek a therapist that may suit your schedule. My schedule may change from week to week depending on the case load. It’s important you schedule your appointments timely. Ideally, it’s best to schedule weekly sessions for the first 4/6 weeks. At the 4/6 week point in time we can reassess your needs and goals. Sessions are usually scheduled for 45 minutes. That’s an average time most people can focus and stay on topic. Times for sessions can be increased or decreased depending on clinical needs. Messages are usually answered in 24 hours; however, it could be longer if it’s a day I am not scheduled for sessions, evenings or a weekend. Treatment Goals: You will be setting your own goals. There is a goal section on your dashboard. Please visit it prior to your first session. You will be asked to visit your goals after each session to self-monitor your progress. You may adjust your goals at any time. Technical Tips: Make sure you are on your laptop, desktop, cell phone or other device at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time. This way you can make sure your device is charged up and any other technical issues are worked out. If you are using a cell phone, download the Better Help App prior to your session. Be sure to have a quite space with little to no interruptions. If you are using a cell phone, please keep it still during the session. This helps with a steady connection. You are not driving during any sessions. Being punctual on this platform is a must. If you are late, we will have to reschedule. I am here to assist you through your journey of emotional health and wellness. I look forward to working with you. Angela Blake LCSW-C

Hi, I am Dr. Chriselda Fleming, a licensed psychologist in Maryland. For more than 25 years, I have helped adults move through life’s ups and downs - depression and anxiety, ADD/ADHD and bipolar disorder, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and PTSD, work stress and burnout, and the stuck, low-confidence moments that make life feel smaller than it should. My style blends practical tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with the depth and insight of brief psychodynamic work. We will focus on what’s happening now—habits, thoughts, and patterns that can actually change - while also getting curious about the experiences beneath the surface that still shape how you feel and relate today. Therapy should feel safe, respectful, and useful. I aim to create a steady, supportive space where you can understand yourself more clearly, practice new skills, and make decisions that align with who you want to be. Together, we will set a few clear goals, track progress, and adjust as we learn what works best for you. Starting therapy can feel like a big step. It is also a powerful one. My hope is that, over time, you feel more at ease in your daily life, more confident in your choices, and more connected to the version of yourself you are trying to grow into.

As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and work/ life challenges with compassionate, personalized care. I bring deep expertise in supporting individuals through transformative personal journeys, focusing on areas like self-love, communication, healing from trauma, and rediscovering life purpose. Drawing on cognitive behavioral approaches, I help clients identify and reshape the thought patterns and beliefs that quietly shape their emotional lives — creating space for new perspectives, healthier responses, and lasting change. My work also extends to teens and college students, guiding young people through issues related to identity, stress, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships during critical developmental stages. Grounded in trauma-informed and systems-based approaches, my practice emphasizes the interconnected nature of personal, familial, and social experiences. I integrate somatic work to help clients reconnect with the wisdom of the body — recognizing that healing lives not only in the mind but in the nervous system, breath, and physical presence. Together, these approaches allow clients to gain insight into patterns that shape their lives while building resilience, self-understanding, and sustainable positive change. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-oriented, and rooted in empowerment. I create a supportive environment where clients of all ages can safely explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, tune into their bodies, and develop tools for lasting growth. Through evidence-based practices — including CBT and somatic modalities — I help individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling grounded, confident, and connected — to themselves and others. I'm deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate difficult emotions, rebuild relationships, and create lives marked by authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment. Together, we transform challenge into opportunity, fostering healing and growth at every stage of life.

Find a therapist near you in Cambridge, Maryland

Finding a therapist near you in Cambridge, Maryland starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Maryland is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Maryland, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Maryland, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Maryland

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
