Great to meet you!

My name is Chelsea Richardson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the state of Colorado. I hold a master’s degree in social work and have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life’s challenging moments.

Seeking help is a courageous step, and I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to reach out. My passion is creating a therapeutic space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth struggles, relationship challenges, and family stressors. No matter where you are on your journey, I am here to provide guidance, support, and tools to help you move forward.

I offer therapy exclusively through secure online video sessions, making it easier for you to access care from the comfort of your own space. If you’re looking for a compassionate, solution-focused therapist who is committed to your well-being, I invite you to explore my website and reach out to see if we’re the right fit.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in providing a supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented experience. I believe that healing happens in a space where you feel both safe and empowered, which is why I prioritize building a trusting, compassionate relationship with each of my clients.

As a solution-focused provider, I work with you to identify practical coping strategies that you can apply in your daily life. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I also incorporate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques. These evidence-based approaches allow me to tailor our work to your specific needs, helping you process past experiences, regulate emotions, and develop healthier thought patterns.

My goal is not only to help you manage your current struggles but to promote lifelong change, resilience, and a sense of overall well-being. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I will provide guidance and support as you reclaim your joy and build the life you want.

What you can expect from me

When working with me, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel truly heard and understood. My approach is centered on helping you reclaim your happiness and joy by providing the tools and strategies necessary to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Through our sessions, you will gain practical coping skills tailored to your unique challenges, whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth, or relationship difficulties. Using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques, I will guide you toward building resilience, self-awareness, and healthier ways of managing stress.

My goal is for you to walk away from each session feeling empowered, equipped with actionable strategies, and more connected to yourself and others. Together, we will work toward healing and personal growth, allowing you to create the fulfilling and balanced life you deserve.
