About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Connecticut and Georgia with eight years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related issues using several clinical approaches she lists.
Chelsea trained in marriage and family therapy and developed an interest in how people are shaped by the systems around them. Her early work included group home settings with adolescents and young adults and in-home therapy with youth and families in crisis. She has also provided outpatient and community-based care to adults presenting with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, homelessness, and severe mental health conditions.
Her sessions mix structured techniques and collaborative conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness practices, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods to address symptoms and patterns. Chelsea aims to help people recognize unhelpful thinking, learn coping skills, and test small changes that can make daily life easier.
She often draws on her experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. Other focus areas listed include body image, abandonment, commitment concerns, coping with loss, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.
Chelsea describes her style as interactive and encouraging. She prioritizes patience, listening, and respect in sessions. The site notes that session arrangements and cost can vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use this model to set goals, practice new skills, and track progress between meetings. DBT adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can help with anger, relationship stress, and self-regulation by teaching concrete techniques to use in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase tolerance for distress. Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skill building, narrative work, or solution-focused steps. Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to meet without traveling. These options can make regular work on goals more manageable while using the clinical approaches described above.03
