About Chelsea
Chelsea Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience based in Colorado. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, trauma and other life changes. Chelsea helps clients who are struggling with relationships, family problems, self-esteem, and work-related strain.
Chelsea uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens and then helps people identify patterns that make anger, anxiety, or low mood worse. Together they develop small, doable changes to reduce reactivity and improve everyday functioning. Sessions address communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries alongside substance issues when relevant. Chelsea works with people navigating grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue in caregiving roles. She also supports LGBTQ clients around identity and relationship questions. Practical skills for managing triggers and for rebuilding trust in relationships are common session topics. Sessions emphasize clear steps and homework that fit into daily life. Chelsea asks about what matters most to each person and tailors sessions around those priorities. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to map out goals.
