About Chelsea

Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and addiction, among other concerns. Chelsea lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people wrestling with people-pleasing, boundary struggles, and intimacy challenges.

Chelsea uses practical, activity-based work rather than only talking. Sessions can include music, writing, or art when that helps a person express difficult feelings. She blends different therapy methods so a person can try what fits them best and build skills at a manageable pace.

She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Attachment-based ideas shape her thinking about how early relationships affect current patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to manage intense emotions and stronger urges.

Chelsea has experience supporting people after trauma, including complex trauma and domestic violence. She also works with mood disorders, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, and questions around identity and gender. Her background includes work as a music therapist and later a master’s in clinical counseling, which informs her creative, practical style.

Sessions are conversational and activity-focused. Chelsea aims to help people build clearer boundaries, make choices that fit their values, and regain personal direction. Those interested should confirm session options and booking details before scheduling.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Chelsea draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. That work often includes simple exercises and short behavioral goals to try between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at recurring relationship patterns. In sessions she talks through how early bonds affect current choices and practices new ways of relating to others.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Skills include grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation that can be practiced during and between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea will discuss what feels most useful and adjust techniques based on someone’s goals and preferences. She combines talk and practical exercises so people can test what helps most.

The biography does not specify online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Therapists can adapt activities like writing prompts, skill coaching, and music-based exercises to an online setting so progress continues between appointments.
