About Chelsea
Chelsea Burkell is a Florida LMHC with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, self-esteem, stress, and life changes, and also addresses concerns like ADHD, grief, and relationship strain. Chelsea works with adults and adolescents, and she helps parents who want clearer communication within their households.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage daily stress. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes that feel doable. When relationships are involved she focuses on improving how people talk and listen to one another.
Chelsea also supports people dealing with trauma responses, panic symptoms, and feelings of isolation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going, and she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name emotions and repair strained connections. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused tools help set short-term goals and build momentum.
Work with Chelsea is aimed at practical progress rather than long lectures. She helps clients break bigger problems into steps and track small wins. For parents, sessions may include strategies for clearer boundaries and more consistent routines.
If someone is unsure how to start, Chelsea recommends a short initial conversation to outline goals. New clients generally complete a brief questionnaire, then schedule a first session to discuss next steps and what methods might suit them best.
How Chelsea uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what a person says and responding without judgment so they feel understood. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear steps to test unhelpful beliefs. It is often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, social anxiety and phobia, and stress because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track emotions and then practice new ways of responding in relationships. It can be useful when communication patterns or attachment issues make interactions feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. She may combine techniques across approaches and adjust methods as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient. Licensed professionals can still use CBT exercises, motivational techniques, and emotional processing during online meetings, adapting materials and homework to the online setting.
