About Chelsea

Chelsea Burkell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

Chelsea emphasizes strategies that build coping skills for everyday pressures while addressing underlying patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, alongside client-centered practices that prioritize the individual’s goals and values.

Emotionally-focused and solution-oriented methods are woven into sessions to improve communication, resolve attachment concerns, and support people navigating family or career-related stress. Chelsea is licensed in Florida (FL LMHC MH17673) and conducts sessions in English, offering formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She aims to collaborate with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to adapt her methods to match their needs and preferences.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change emotions and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspectives, offering empathic support that helps clarify values and build motivation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and relational patterns to improve communication and attachment-related difficulties, often benefiting those working through relationship or family stress.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chelsea collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to current struggles, discusses potential techniques, and adjusts methods over time so goals and preferences guide the work together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around scheduling and location. These formats let people access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and Chelsea tailors the mode of contact to each client’s needs and the goals of therapy.
