About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She holds LMFT credentials in Connecticut and Georgia and brings a warm, encouraging presence to sessions. Chelsea decided on this path because she wanted to give back and support people in the ways she was supported growing up.
She focuses on the broader systems that shape a person’s life, including family background and relationships. That systemic view informs work on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and transitions such as divorce or separation. Chelsea also helps people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and body image concerns, LGBT issues, and career or life changes.
Earlier in her career she worked in group homes with adolescents and young adults and provided in-home therapy for youth and families in crisis. She has clinical experience with adults in outpatient and community settings who presented with mood concerns, substance use, and severe mental health conditions. That experience informs a practical, grounded approach in sessions.
Chelsea’s style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental. She describes herself as patient, empathetic, and motivating, and she aims to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of coping. Her sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.
She blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused approaches to build a plan that fits the individual. Chelsea supports men’s wellbeing among other concerns and is based in Georgia.
How Chelsea Uses Practical Approaches Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It uses clear, actionable steps and homework to practice new skills between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people manage intense emotions, reduce reactivity, and improve communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens to what is most important and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote work, and Chelsea frames sessions around practical skills people can use between meetings.
