Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Chelsea Richardson

Chelsea Richardson draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients' values and goals guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy and supports people who need to feel understood as they explore personal concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness when emotions and relationships feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chelsea works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the plan feels manageable and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage in that work - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on progress and practical strategies without requiring everyone to be in the same room.
