Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people move through hard times and find more balance. She works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and challenges related to identity and intimacy. Chelsea aims to make therapy accessible and practical for everyday life.

Her background combines creative arts and clinical counseling. She began as a professional musician and later trained as a music therapist before earning a master's degree in clinical counseling. That mix shapes a flexible, person-centered way of working. Sessions may include music, writing, nature-based ideas, or other creative tools when those match a person's interests.

Chelsea often helps people who have faced trauma and abuse, including complex trauma. She supports clients in processing painful memories, developing coping skills, and rebuilding a sense of safety and agency. She also works with people experiencing mood disorders, addiction, parenting burdens, career changes, and identity-related concerns.

Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She describes her style as collaborative and tailored, choosing methods that fit each person's goals and strengths.

Chelsea practices in Utah and offers services in English. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential. To begin, she asks people to share their story so she can match practical steps to what matters most to them.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Chelsea draws from several methods that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions toward a meaningful life; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connections; it can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family of origin issues. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of painful memories and supporting post-trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Together they decide what feels doable, whether that means learning emotion-regulation skills, trying creative exercises, or working through traumatic memories more directly.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Chelsea aims to help clients apply skills between meetings and make therapy practical for everyday routines.
