Chelsea Sheedy

Chelsea Sheedy welcomes people who are ready to make changes but feel stuck or overwhelmed. She focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life, and she aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable. Chelsea uses a calm, creative style and a straightforward tone so conversations stay clear and useful.

Chelsea earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. Before counseling she worked as a professional musician and trained in music therapy at the University of Iowa, which shaped a creative approach to care. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work in Utah.

Her sessions draw on a blend of methods rather than a single technique. Chelsea often mixes mindfulness-based exercises, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused conversation to match someone’s needs. She may include music, writing, or time outdoors when that helps a person engage with the work.

Chelsea has a long history supporting people after trauma and abuse and with mood and anxiety concerns. Other areas she addresses include relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, and career or life-purpose questions. She also works with LGBT concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and fertility or family-of-origin struggles.

She invites people to bring their real-life interests into therapy so skill-building feels relevant. To start, she asks about goals and makes a plan together that fits the client’s pace and preferences.

How Chelsea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises that help reduce reactivity. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and building calmer responses to difficult feelings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small committed actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. It often pairs well with practical skill work for life changes and decision-making.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect with others and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea checks in about goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit a person’s needs. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, ACT practices, and attachment conversations effectively in remote sessions when those formats are available.
