About Chelsea

Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from Utah with eight years of clinical experience. She began her professional life as a trained musician and went on to become a board certified music therapist after studying at the University of Iowa. Seeking additional clinical skills, she completed a master’s degree in clinical counseling to broaden the ways she could support clients’ mental, emotional, and creative needs.

Her therapeutic style is creative and multimodal, blending clinical techniques with expressive tools to meet each person where they are. Sessions may draw on music or art, encourage writing, or incorporate time in nature when that supports a client’s goals and strengths. She tailors methods to individual interests so therapy feels approachable and personally relevant.

Sheedy has a particular focus on trauma and abuse, working with survivors of complex PTSD as well as individuals affected by domestic violence. She is trained in EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - and adapts this work for remote counseling when appropriate. Her practice also addresses mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, addiction and co-occurring substance use, intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting and family issues, and life transitions. She works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, LGBTQ+ communities, parents, and families, offering an empathic, warm approach aimed at helping people process difficult experiences and build more adaptive ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it can be used for survivors of abuse, complex trauma, and other painful experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping clients understand and shift relational dynamics that affect family, romantic, and interpersonal functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals, creating a nonjudgmental space where personal strengths and interests guide the pace and focus of work.

The choice of approach is collaborative - Chelsea works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as healing progresses. This process is guided by assessment, discussion, and client feedback so the plan remains aligned with what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions when a live conversation is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, skill practice, or steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals across distances, while maintaining continuity of care and responsiveness to changing needs.
