About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with eight years of experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, relationships, and parenting. Sessions focus on practical skills and real situations that cause frustration or conflict.
Chelsea combines several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-centered work keeps sessions focused on the person’s own goals and preferences.
Her background includes work as a music therapist and a master’s degree in clinical counseling. That mix leads to a creative, multimodal style where conversations can be paired with writing, music, or nature-based tasks when helpful. The style aims to make skills feel useful, not abstract.
Chelsea has experience with a wide range of concerns often seen together, including mood disorders, addiction, grief, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and identity. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment problems, codependency, and fertility or family-of-origin concerns.
Sessions are directed toward practical change - reducing reactivity, building better communication, and developing coping tools for anger and stress. The work is collaborative: she helps people try strategies and then adjusts them based on what actually helps in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. Online sessions can use exercises and brief homework to practice new responses to anger and stress between meetings.Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions. In remote sessions the therapist and client map those patterns together and try new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and resentment.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when trauma processing is needed. The therapist adapts EMDR techniques to distance sessions when indicated and when the client and therapist agree it is appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans if something does not help. The focus is practical - experimenting with tools and keeping what actually improves daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefit of remote work is being able to fit sessions into a weekday break or a quieter evening, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what format will best match scheduling, energy, and the type of work planned.
