About Chelsea

Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship struggles, and other life changes. She approaches therapy as a collaborative, creative process and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and strengths.

Background and approach

Drawing on eight years of clinical experience, she blends evidence-based techniques with expressive methods so clients can access practical skills and deeper healing. Chelsea trained initially as a professional musician and later became a board-certified music therapist before completing a master’s degree in clinical counseling.

That varied background informs a multimodal style that may include music, art, writing, or nature-based activities alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, EMDR, attachment work, and client-centered care. She has a particular interest in trauma recovery and supports people coping with complex PTSD, domestic violence, mood disorders, addictions, intimacy and parenting concerns, and grief.

Practicing in Utah and available to international clients, Chelsea offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She emphasizes empathy, creativity, and practical problem solving to help clients move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Integrating proven approaches into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and building meaningful routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, and it can be adapted to distance work when indicated. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for mood instability, relationship difficulties, and coping under pressure.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try different methods as needed, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That flexibility allows clients to blend expressive elements such as music or writing with evidence-based techniques to match their preferences and needs.

Online therapy with Chelsea uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access regardless of location. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use a mix of real-time conversation and written check-ins to reinforce progress.
