About Cecil

Cecil Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker who brings both professional training and long-term pastoral experience to his therapeutic work. He began his career in social work in 2011 and is licensed to practice in multiple states, including California. He also retired after 36 years of service as a military chaplain, a background that informs his calm, values-informed approach to counseling.

Cecil holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, which indicate advanced qualifications in clinical social work and independent practice. He offers Christian counseling alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family challenges, address anger and career difficulties, and explore concerns such as attachment and abandonment. His practice also focuses on forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and workplace issues.

Known for a respectful and steady presence, Cecil works with adults seeking practical tools and deeper understanding to improve their day-to-day functioning and relationships. He accepts international clients and provides a range of session formats to fit different needs. He approaches each person collaboratively, helping them identify goals and steps toward a more satisfying, resilient life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Cecil blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with faith-informed counseling to support clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts, anger, and career concerns. He uses practical, skills-oriented interventions to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning, teaching concrete strategies for coping with worry, emotional regulation, and communication problems. He also offers Christian counseling for clients who want to integrate spiritual beliefs into their healing and decision-making processes, addressing concerns like forgiveness, guilt, and life purpose within a faith-informed framework.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cecil works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he adjusts methods over time so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Cecil is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family, maintain continuity across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the work.
