About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people navigate hard seasons. She aims to meet people where they are and use creative, practical tools to help them move forward. Chelsea often works with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and issues related to identity and sexuality. She also supports people facing life changes, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster.
Chelsea brings an arts-informed perspective to sessions. She trained first as a music therapist at the University of Iowa and later completed a masters in clinical counseling to add clinical tools. That background leads her to blend talking with expressive approaches like music, writing, or nature-based prompts when helpful. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and interests rather than following a single script.
Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Chelsea describes her style as collaborative and creative, aiming to build practical skills and new ways of seeing problems. She has particular experience supporting survivors of trauma and abuse and people with mood or anxiety symptoms.
She has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential in Utah. Chelsea works with individuals across a wide age range and with LGBTQ+ communities. Readers who want to learn more can use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule a session.
How Chelsea blends approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take action toward a values-based life. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer emotional connections and clearer boundaries. That work often helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming; it is commonly used with trauma, abuse, and complex stress reactions.Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She mixes methods rather than relying on one single model and checks in regularly to see what is helping.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so people can keep consistent appointments. Online work also makes it simpler to try expressive activities like music, writing prompts, or brief exercises in a flexible setting.
