About Chelsea
Chelsea Edwards is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She grew up wanting to help others and now focuses on supporting people through hard life moments.
Background and approach
Chelsea aims to offer steady encouragement and practical tools in sessions. Chelsea learned to value how people are shaped by their relationships and systems while earning a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
That perspective guides how she listens and asks questions. She pays attention to background, family patterns, and everyday routines when thinking about change.
Her early work included group home settings and in-home therapy with youth and families in crisis. She has also worked with adults in outpatient and community settings, helping with anxiety, depression, substance-related concerns, and severe mental health challenges.
Those experiences inform how she supports people today. Chelsea’s style is warm, interactive, and encouraging.
She offers straightforward conversation, practical steps, and patience. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people find what works for them.
In sessions she blends several approaches to match each person’s needs, then tailors plans to real-life goals. Chelsea especially enjoys supporting people through transitions and building skills for communication, self-esteem, parenting challenges, grief, and coping with stress.
She aims to help people feel more capable and hopeful as they move forward.
Approach and Online Options for Therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, combines skill teaching in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship patterns get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and acceptance practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it pairs well with work on stress, grief, and coping with life changes.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you’ll adjust techniques and pacing so the work feels useful and manageable for your life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation from your own schedule. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick skill practice, or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy routines.
