Chelsea Sheedy

Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed counselor who aims to help people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or harmed by past events. She offers a steady, creative presence for people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, addiction, or the aftermath of trauma. Chelsea greets each person with respect and simple, practical steps toward change.

Chelsea earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling after training and working as a board-certified music therapist. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential, practicing in Utah and with international clients in English. Her background in music therapy informs a flexible, arts-friendly style in sessions.

Her work blends several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose meaningful actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on intimacy and family patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Client-Centered principles, and EMDR when appropriate.

Sessions may include expressive tools like music, art, or writing when they support progress. Chelsea often adapts techniques to the person’s interests, so therapy feels relevant and doable. She pays attention to safety and pacing when working with trauma and complex stress.

People commonly seek her help for grief, parenting strain, identity and LGBT concerns, abandonment and attachment issues, ADHD, bipolar and mood challenges, and life transitions. If you want a therapist who mixes practical skills with creative options, Chelsea aims to meet you where you are and help you move forward.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. This method can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that form in close relationships and helps people build healthier connection habits, which is helpful for intimacy issues and family of origin concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often benefiting people with strong mood swings, anger, or self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea aims to figure out the best fit together, matching methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may mean trying a skill-based tool one week and a creative or attachment-focused exercise the next.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual work helps them practice skills in their everyday routines and keeps momentum between meetings. Chelsea adapts activities like EMDR-compatible techniques, art, music, and writing to remote sessions when appropriate so therapy stays practical and relatable.
