About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She pursued a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, and her background includes work in group home settings, in-home therapy, and outpatient community-based care.
Background and approach
Throughout her career she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and complex family dynamics, and she draws on her training with systemic approaches to understand how relationships and life contexts shape wellbeing. Her therapeutic stance is warm, interactive, and encouraging, with an emphasis on patience, empathy, and practical support.
Chelsea blends tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space that emphasizes respect and empowerment while helping clients navigate life transitions, grief, parenting challenges, identity questions, and relationship or family conflicts.
Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals are clarified and strategies are adapted to fit real-life situations. Chelsea works with individuals and families across a range of stressors and growth goals, offering encouragement and pragmatic skills to support sustainable change.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea uses an initial assessment and ongoing conversations to select and adapt techniques based on a client’s goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than adhering to a single method. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they fit daily life and evolving concerns.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity across life changes and provide multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the therapeutic techniques described above while adjusting pacing and homework to suit each client’s routine.
