About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience and licenses in Georgia and Connecticut. She began studying psychology and then completed a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, choosing this path because she wanted to help people in the context of their relationships and life systems.
Chelsea describes her early work in group homes supporting adolescents and young adults aged about 14 to 22. She has experience with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and early signs of complex conditions, and has provided in-home therapy for families in crisis. She has also worked with adults in outpatient and community settings on issues such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and homelessness.
Her everyday approach is practical and interactive. Sessions focus on understanding how a person’s background and relationships shape current patterns. She uses conversation and problem-solving to address stress, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and career or life-change stressors.
Chelsea draws from several therapy models to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She borrows Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Solution-Focused and Narrative ideas help people find what works and rewrite stories that hold them back.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that encourages realistic skill practice between sessions. Chelsea aims to help people reduce reactivity, improve communication, and handle stressful situations more effectively.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger patterns, and depression because it breaks problems into practical steps and skills to practice between meetings.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools help when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when someone wants better ways to respond instead of reacting. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes and builds on what already helps you in day-to-day life.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Expect the therapist to suggest skill-building, short experiments, and periodic check-ins to see progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed therapists can adapt these approaches for remote conversations and practical skill practice that fit into everyday life.
