About Chelsea

Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC, helps people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, or grief find clearer footing. She works with individuals facing trauma, relationship struggles, parenting pressure, mood changes, addiction, and questions about identity and purpose. Chelsea writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She brings eight years of clinical experience and a creative background in music and music therapy to her counseling. That blend means sessions may include talking, writing, movement, or music when it feels helpful.

Background and approach

Chelsea adapts tools from multiple approaches so each plan matches a person’s needs and interests. Her work includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, including symptoms that can follow complex trauma. She offers EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, as part of a larger toolbox when clients and clinician agree it fits the goals.

Chelsea also uses acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-informed ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when relevant. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between appointments. Chelsea helps clients notice patterns, practice new ways of coping, and rebuild trust with themselves and others.

She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career decisions, fertility and family of origin issues, and concerns around gender and sexuality. Chelsea practices as an LCMHC in Utah and provides therapy in English. She welcomes clients from other locations who can work with her online and offers multiple formats to match different schedules and needs.

Online support

How Chelsea blends therapies for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where someone wants to take clearer steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and focuses on building safety and trust in how someone relates to others and themselves. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is a concern.

Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.

Online therapy offers a range of practical options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to commute. Chelsea uses these options to keep care flexible and focused on what helps each person move forward.
