About Chelsea

Chelsea Burkell is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress and anxiety. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage everyday pressure. Chelsea meets with adults, adolescents, and teens to talk through what is getting in the way of school, work, or home life.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports stronger emotional connection within families. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolkit when people want clear, goal-oriented steps. Chelsea has seven years of experience as a mental health professional and holds an FL LMHC license, number MH17673.

She works from Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, and relationship and family problems. In sessions she often helps parents improve communication, manage blended family issues, and reduce conflict.

She also supports people dealing with panic, social anxiety, isolation, body image, and career stress. The work is practical and collaborative, aimed at finding things that make daily life easier. People who choose her can expect clear discussion about goals and steps to try between sessions.

Chelsea helps clients track progress and adjust the plan as needed. She emphasizes straightforward strategies families can use at home.

Therapeutic approaches that work online and at home

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and guiding the pace of work based on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people improve emotional connection, which can be useful for family dynamics and parenting concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try an approach and adjust it over time to fit the client's needs and family situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions are a simple option when screens are not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and caregiving schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
