Chelsea Edwards

Chelsea Edwards is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She holds LMFT credentials and is licensed in Georgia and Connecticut. Chelsea chose this path because she wants to offer the same encouragement she received growing up. She studied psychology for her bachelor’s degree and then earned a master’s in marriage and family therapy. Those studies shaped how she looks at problems - as things that arise inside people and inside the systems around them. Chelsea pays attention to family history, relationships, and the day-to-day systems that shape behavior. Her early work included group homes for adolescents and in-home therapy with youth and families in crisis. She has experience with depression, anxiety, PTSD, attention challenges, and trauma from abuse or neglect. She has also worked with adults facing mood disorders, substance challenges, homelessness, and serious mental health needs. Clients describe her style as warm, interactive, and encouraging. Chelsea says she brings patience, empathy, and a nonjudgmental attitude to sessions. She focuses on practical steps and supports people through life transitions, parenting stress, relationship problems, and anger. Clinically she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Chelsea adapts conversation and interventions to fit each person’s needs, and she aims to build a collaborative plan that feels doable. If someone is ready to try making changes, Chelsea offers steady support and coaching to help them move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practice new behaviors that change feelings and outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with anger and intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends techniques and adjusts plans so they feel realistic and useful in everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that meeting by video or phone lets them continue care during life transitions while keeping therapy practical and focused.
