About Chelsea
Chelsea Sharshel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a relaxed, approachable style to sessions. She speaks plainly and listens closely, making space for people to talk about hard topics. Her work often centers on family and parenting concerns as well as personal stressors.
She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue. Chelsea also addresses addiction, attention challenges, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and self-esteem issues.
Background and approach
She draws on several therapeutic tools rather than a single method. That lets her shape sessions to match what each person needs in the moment. In practice she mixes techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Chelsea describes this like using different spices - combining approaches to suit a person’s particular situation. Sessions stay practical and focused on small, usable steps. Her aim is to help clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior and to try new ways of responding.
Chelsea emphasizes collaboration - she does not assume she knows someone better than they know themselves. Instead she offers guidance, reflective listening, and gentle challenges to support change. Chelsea works with people remotely from Colorado.
Sessions use a subscription model and are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire. The tone in her work is casual, warm, and nonjudgmental.
Approaches that translate well to online family and parenting work
Brainspotting helps people access and process stuck emotions by noticing where attention and body sensations meet; it can be useful for trauma, intense grief, and moments that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes gentle, guided conversation to find a person’s own reasons for change and is often used when addressing addictive behaviors or low motivation.Chelsea treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She listens to a person’s history, goals, and preferences, then blends techniques to fit that person. Together they try approaches and adjust them based on what feels most helpful and practical for daily life.
Online therapy with Chelsea is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling around family needs. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep continuity when routines change. The remote format still allows focused, goal-oriented work and ongoing check-ins to track progress.
