About Chelsea Edwards
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 8 years of experience and licensure in Georgia and Connecticut. Her work is grounded in a long-standing desire to support others with the kind of encouragement and steadiness that helps people feel seen, valued, and capable of change.
Her training began with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and continued with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Through that path, she developed a strong commitment to understanding not only an individual’s concerns, but also the relationships, family patterns, and broader systems that shape daily life. She believes therapy is most effective when it considers a person’s background and the environments they move through, including family of origin, current relationships, and other key supports and stressors.
Chelsea’s early professional experience includes supporting adolescents and young adults in group home settings, including those navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related stress, and experiences of abuse or neglect. She also has three years of in-home therapy experience working with youth and families in crisis. In addition, she has worked with adults in outpatient, community, and in-home settings, supporting a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, substance use, homelessness, and serious mental health conditions.
Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and innovative, with an emphasis on patience, empathy, and respect. Chelsea aims to provide a non-judgmental space and avoids stigmatizing labels, focusing instead on practical support and meaningful growth. She draws from approaches such as solution-focused therapy and tailors the conversation and plan to each client’s goals, including support through life stage transitions and other major changes.

Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Chelsea Edwards integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be practical in everyday life, especially when stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or major transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and experimenting with new ways of responding. It can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem challenges, and coping with life changes by building skills that are clear and actionable.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes balancing acceptance and change. It often includes tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people who feel stuck in intense emotions, conflict cycles, or impulsive reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on strengths, goals, and small steps forward. Rather than spending all the time on what is wrong, it helps clarify what a client wants to be different and identifies workable strategies to move in that direction.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Chelsea collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and changing routines.
