About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She holds the LMFT credential and is licensed in Georgia and Connecticut. Chelsea chose this path out of a desire to give back and to offer the encouragement she received growing up in a supportive family.
She moved into marriage and family therapy after studying psychology and noticing how family systems shape behavior. That training led her to focus on individual background and the systems people live in. Chelsea has worked in group homes with teens and young adults, provided in-home therapy for families in crisis, and treated adults in outpatient and community settings.
Her past caseload has included depression, anxiety, trauma, substance concerns, and early signs of complex disorders. She has supported people who experienced abuse, homelessness, and severe mood disorders. Chelsea also brings experience with parenting, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters.
Chelsea’s style is warm and interactive. She emphasizes patience, empathy, and encouragement while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s situation, with an emphasis on practical steps and measurable changes.
Clinically, she draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness work, narrative techniques, and solution-focused methods. Chelsea aims to help people navigate life changes, grief, relationship strains, and compassion fatigue while building coping skills and clearer communication.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness can work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses clear exercises and behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to tackle relationship patterns.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. It is often used when people struggle with strong anger, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through simple practices. It can help reduce rumination, lower stress, and support calmer responses during difficult moments.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted over time so methods match changing needs and life events.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that match a work break or caregiving schedule. It also gives therapists ways to use worksheets, guided skill practice, and narrative work during appointments without changing what the therapy aims to accomplish.
