About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life changes. She speaks plainly with clients and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life. Chelsea welcomes conversations about relationships, parenting, grief, and identity concerns while keeping sessions oriented to each person's goals.
Chelsea began her professional life as a musician and later trained as a board certified music therapist at the University of Iowa.
Background and approach
She then completed a master’s degree in clinical counseling to gain clinical tools and broaden access to therapy. That combination shapes how she works: creative, flexible, and grounded in counseling skills. Her sessions often blend talking with expressive activities such as music, art, or writing when that fits a person's interests.
She adapts methods to match what helps each person engage. Some people focus on skills for emotion regulation while others process past hurts or work on relationship patterns. Chelsea has substantial experience with trauma and abuse, including complex post-traumatic stress symptoms and domestic violence recovery.
She also supports people dealing with mood concerns, addiction, intimacy struggles, and parenting stress. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness. Clients describe practical tools, clearer priorities, and fewer moments of overwhelm after sustained work.
Chelsea uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to build coping skills, strengthen attachments, and reduce emotional reactivity. She practices in Utah and offers services in English, including options for remote sessions.
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It teaches practical skills for accepting uncomfortable thoughts while committing to actions that reflect personal goals.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection and rebuild trust in relationships, which can be useful for intimacy issues, parenting strain, and family of origin concerns.
Chelsea treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with you about goals, preferences, and past experiences, then try methods that match your needs. If something does not fit, adjustments are made collaboratively until the plan feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make scheduling easier around work, school, or caregiving commitments and let people keep therapy consistent even when life is busy.
