Chelsea Sheedy , LCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy brings a creative, trauma-informed approach to counseling, blending clinical training with a background in music therapy to help people heal and grow. She trained as a board-certified music therapist at the University of Iowa and went on to earn a master’s degree in clinical counseling, combining expressive modalities with evidence-based clinical tools to meet each person where they are. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), she integrates multiple methods to make therapy accessible and engaging, using music, art, writing, nature, and practical skills when those tools suit a client's needs and strengths.

She has a particular focus on trauma and abuse, working with survivors of complex PTSD, domestic violence, and related concerns to help them rebuild a sense of safety and perspective. Chelsea also supports people dealing with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, intimacy and sexual concerns, addiction and co-occurring substance use, parenting and family challenges, grief, and life transitions. Her practice includes work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, and families, and she is experienced providing care across a wide range of relational and developmental issues.

Chelsea favors a multimodal, client-centered style that emphasizes collaboration and creativity, tailoring sessions to each person's interests and goals. She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and adapts therapeutic techniques for distance work when appropriate. Located in Utah, she offers a warm, empathetic space for people ready to begin meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters most, while learning practical skills to handle difficult thoughts and emotions. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and issues that interfere with daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect present-day connections. It helps people improve emotional bonds, address abandonment or attachment concerns, and develop healthier relational responses.

Chelsea approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and then tailors a mix of techniques so therapy feels fitting and effective for the individual.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access therapy from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose formats that match comfort levels and communication styles. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like ACT, attachment work, and EMDR-informed strategies to remote formats to support progress across a range of concerns.
