About Chelsea Edwards
Chelsea Edwards is a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who is licensed in Georgia and Connecticut. Her interest in this work began early, rooted in a desire to offer others the kind of steady encouragement and support she experienced growing up. That motivation continues to guide her as she helps people navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and move through life transitions with greater confidence and clarity.
While earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, she developed a strong interest in marriage and family therapy and later completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her training deepened her belief that meaningful change often comes from understanding not only the individual, but also the background, relationships, and larger systems that shape day-to-day life. She brings this systems-focused perspective into therapy to help clients make sense of patterns and create practical, lasting shifts.
Across her early career, Chelsea worked in group home settings with adolescents and young adults ages 14-22 who were coping with concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and early signs associated with bipolar and borderline presentations. She has also supported youth impacted by sexual abuse and by physical abuse or neglect from caregivers. In addition, she has three years of in-home therapy experience working with youth and families in crisis. Her background also includes outpatient and community-based work with adults ages 18+ facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, homelessness, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and innovative, with a strong emphasis on encouragement and motivation. Chelsea aims to create a friendly, non-judgmental space grounded in patience, empathy, and respect. She draws from approaches such as Strategic, Structural, and Solution-Focused therapy, and she tailors the conversation and plan to fit each client’s specific needs and goals. She values helping people take courageous first steps toward change and offers steady support as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Collaborative Approaches
Chelsea Edwards draws from evidence-informed methods that help clients understand patterns, build coping tools, and move toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns by helping clients challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new responses.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can support clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, relationship conflict, or recurring cycles of reactivity. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical ways to slow down, notice what is happening in the moment, and respond with greater intention - a helpful fit for anxiety, anger, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chelsea works collaboratively, listening closely to what clients want to change and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailoring sessions to match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay engaged in the work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
