About Chelsea

Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting concerns, grief, and family of origin issues among other life challenges. Chelsea also supports people facing mood concerns, addiction, and questions about identity and intimacy.

She brings a creative, multimodal approach to sessions. Her background includes music therapy and a master’s in clinical counseling, and she often blends practical skills from several methods. Sessions can include written exercises, creative tasks, or discussion, matched to what a person prefers and what helps them reach their goals.

Chelsea uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She adapts these methods to everyday concerns like anxious thoughts, difficulty with closeness, or patterns that began in childhood.

People who come for help with family of origin issues may work on understanding repeating patterns, clearer boundaries, and managing triggers that show up in current relationships. Chelsea supports clients in developing practical coping skills and new ways of relating that fit their lives.

Her work often includes attention to identity questions, trauma recovery, and parenting struggles. Sessions are conversational and skills-based, with room for creative tools when they feel useful.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, values-driven steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where someone wants clearer direction in life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns in relationships and how they affect current connections; it helps when family roles or closeness cause repeated stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports clients as they name what matters and try new ways of coping. Chelsea uses these methods together so people can both learn skills and make sense of old patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and pick methods together. That collaborative process guides which tools and exercises are used over time. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy day. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to include creative activities like writing or music tasks into a session when useful.
