About Chelsea

Chelsea Sharshel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She keeps a casual, friendly style and focuses on helping people talk through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, mood challenges such as depression and bipolar, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and self esteem struggles.

She uses a mix of approaches rather than one set method. Sessions often include tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she also uses Brainspotting and Narrative Therapy when they fit the situation. Chelsea compares combining methods to mixing spices to match what each person needs.

Chelsea aims to create a space where people can think out loud and work through strong emotions. She describes her role as a guide who listens and helps clients clarify their thoughts and goals. The tone in sessions is relaxed and straightforward, with practical steps offered when they help.

With three years of clinical experience, she brings direct practice with addiction concerns alongside broader mental health work. Her background includes addressing communication problems, anger management, and low motivation in addition to trauma and family strain.

Sessions are conducted in English and Chelsea does not take international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Practical approaches and how they translate online

Evidence-based techniques mentioned in Chelsea's profile include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical behavior changes that reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation for change and works well for addiction, low motivation, and making life shifts.

She also uses Narrative Therapy and Brainspotting when those methods seem helpful. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. Brainspotting is a body-focused approach some therapists use to work with strong emotional memories and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level, and she can adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration makes sessions more useful and tailored to the person's needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these features to shape a plan that works with everyday life while addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, and self esteem.
