About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience and licensure in Georgia and Connecticut. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, grief, and career-related strain. Chelsea also lists family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and adoption or foster care-related topics among her focus areas.
She trained in marriage and family therapy after studying psychology, and much of her early work was with youth and families in group homes and in-home settings. That background included supporting people presenting with mood and anxiety symptoms, and working with families in crisis. Chelsea later provided outpatient and community-based care for adults facing issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, and homelessness.
Chelsea’s style is interactive and encouraging. Sessions combine conversational work with practical strategies drawn from several approaches. She uses techniques that help people identify unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and try different ways of relating to others.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods. These approaches are used to address things like communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, and emotional regulation. Chelsea emphasizes working with the systems that shape a person’s life, including family of origin patterns.
She practices in Georgia and offers services in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Chelsea uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT helps people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It focuses on testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches concrete techniques for distress tolerance and better communication.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and agreeing on achievable steps together.
