About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She earned her training in marriage and family therapy and is licensed in Georgia and Connecticut. Chelsea grew up wanting to help others and brings that same drive to every session she holds.
She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and career transitions. Financial and money-related stress is listed among her areas of focus and is addressed alongside other life pressures. Her approach is warm, encouraging, and goal-focused.
Chelsea has worked across settings including group homes, in-home therapy, outpatient care, and community programs. Early work with adolescents in group homes exposed her to depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral concerns, and she later provided in-home crisis support for youth and families. She has also worked with adults facing mood disorders, substance use, and housing instability.
In sessions she uses practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused methods. Chelsea adapts her conversations and plans to the person in front of her, emphasizing empathy, patience, and encouragement. She avoids labels and focuses on concrete steps people can take.
People who reach out will find a friendly, nonjudgmental space and a therapist who values collaboration. Chelsea often helps clients set short-term goals, practice new skills, and navigate life-stage changes. Those ready to begin are guided through a straightforward intake and scheduling process.
