About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, and trauma-related problems. Chelsea also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and career or life-purpose questions.
Chelsea moved into counseling after a career as a professional musician and time as a board-certified music therapist. She later completed a master's in clinical counseling to add clinical tools to her practice. Her background means she often draws on creative ways of working when that fits a person's interests.
Sessions commonly blend conversational counseling with skills-based work. Chelsea uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She may incorporate music, writing, art, or nature-based activities when useful to the client's goals.
Chelsea notes experience with survivors of trauma and abuse and with people navigating domestic violence, mood disorders, co-occurring substance concerns, and parenting strain. She also lists additional focus areas including abandonment, attachment issues, family of origin problems, fertility concerns, gender dysphoria, and infidelity.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To get started, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and practicing small actions that align with those values. Online ACT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to try between meetings and can help with anxiety, stress, or motivation concerns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. In remote sessions this approach involves talking through relationship dynamics, identifying patterns, and practicing new ways of relating to others and to yourself.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories. When EMDR is offered at a distance, the therapist adapts procedures to remote work and guides the person through step-by-step processing while tracking symptoms and pacing the work.
Deciding which method to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, listen to goals, and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. That conversation can start in the first session and change over time as progress and comfort levels become clear.
The profile does not list specific session delivery formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weeknight or lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy. Chelsea's creative, skills-oriented methods lend themselves to practical between-session exercises that slot into everyday life.
