About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and related struggles. Chelsea sees clients who identify as LGBT and supports those dealing with grief, career changes, ADHD, and life transitions.
Chelsea moved into counseling after a career in music and holds a master’s degree in clinical counseling. She also has a background in music therapy from the University of Iowa and brings creative options into sessions when they fit. That can mean using music, art, writing, or nature-based ideas alongside traditional talk work.
Her practice blends several approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered skills, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness techniques. Sessions may include skills practice, memory processing work when appropriate, and steady problem solving aimed at daily functioning.
Chelsea describes a multimodal style that adapts methods to what helps each person make progress. She pays attention to interests and strengths so practical tools feel useful and doable. She also has experience supporting people after domestic violence and with complex trauma responses.
People who prefer creative options or who want a mix of structured skills and deeper processing often choose her. She accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Chelsea uses ACT, DBT and EMDR online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose steps that matter to them, and build small, doable changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a memory-processing method used for trauma symptoms and intense, stuck memories when indicated.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Chelsea discusses goals and preferences with each person and then tries approaches that fit those aims. That means sessions can mix skills practice, creative exercises, and processing work based on what helps the client reach practical goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using phone rather than video when bandwidth is limited. Chelsea adapts exercises so they work through distance care and helps clients translate skills into everyday routines.
