About Chelsea
Chelsea Sharshel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She brings a relaxed, friendly style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, bipolar symptoms, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Chelsea uses a mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person.
She describes therapy like combining spices to match a client's needs, picking approaches that fit the situation rather than using one fixed method.
How Chelsea works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on listening and collaboration. She asks questions to help people think differently about their struggles. Chelsea offers space to talk through painful memories, work on communication, and find motivation when it feels low.
She also supports people working through addiction-related issues and the effects of chronic stress. With three years of clinical experience, Chelsea focuses on building a steady working relationship. She frames therapy as a partnership where the client knows themself best, and the therapist helps guide thinking and choices.
That approach can make hard topics easier to face. People who choose Chelsea can expect conversational sessions that aim to be practical and adaptable. She helps identify small steps toward clearer thinking, improved interactions, and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Online support options
How Chelsea's approaches translate to online therapy
Evidence-based techniques here are used in direct, simple ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational interviewing focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about change, often useful for addiction and low motivation. Narrative approaches look at the stories people tell about themselves and help reframe those stories to reduce shame and improve self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth days or when being on camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on progress and real-world steps.
