About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of experience. She is licensed in Connecticut and Georgia and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, grief, and anger.
Chelsea began studying psychology and moved into marriage and family therapy because she wanted to understand how people are shaped by the systems around them. She earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and has worked in a mix of settings including group homes, in-home therapy, outpatient care, and community programs.
Early in her career she supported adolescents and young adults in group home settings, working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and early signs of complex conditions. She also spent three years providing in-home therapy for youth and families in crisis, and has experience with adults facing anxiety, depression, substance use, homelessness, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
Her approach draws on practical methods such as solution-focused work, narrative techniques, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-oriented, with attention to the relationships and systems that affect a person’s life.
Chelsea describes herself as encouraging and patient. She focuses on helping people make changes during life transitions, manage strong feelings, and improve communication. If someone wants to address anger, relationship strain, or parenting stress, she aims to use clear strategies and steady support to work toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing angry reactions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT-style skills can help when strong emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships keep getting stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she may combine techniques from different models as appropriate.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example you may join from a quieter location, choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often adapt online sessions to focus on skills practice, problem solving, and communication work that carry over into daily routines.
