About Chelsea
LCSW, Clinical Social Worker in Colorado with 11 years of experience, Chelsea Richardson focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, ADHD, LGBT issues, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. Chelsea uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy in her work.
Chelsea favors straightforward, practical conversations that help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She listens to what matters most and then works with the person to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include skill practice and small experiments to test what changes help in day-to-day life.
Her approach balances looking at thoughts and behaviors with learning emotional regulation skills. CBT helps people reframe unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviors. DBT offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for stress. Client-centered methods focus on the person’s experience and priorities.
Chelsea brings a problem-solving mindset without jargon. She breaks larger issues into manageable steps and tracks progress together. People leave sessions with specific strategies to try between meetings.
She works in English and practices in Colorado. Chelsea emphasizes collaboration - she and the client decide what to try first and how to adjust if something isn’t helping. For next steps, the site’s matching process guides people to schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to virtual sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to the person and following their priorities. In online sessions that means Chelsea starts by asking what matters most now and uses that to shape each meeting.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online work can include homework, thought records, and practical steps people try between meetings to see what shifts help.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In virtual sessions Chelsea can teach and practice those skills together and then check in on how they’re working in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will review goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what helps. The first few meetings usually clarify which combination of approaches is most useful.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, or helpful when they prefer not to travel. Online meetings also make it simple to assign brief between-session exercises and to do focused skill practice without a long commute.
