About Chelsea
Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC, focuses on helping parents and individuals handle the pressures of family life and personal change. She offers a calm presence and practical strategies for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and grief. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy usable on busy days.
Chelsea trained first as a music therapist at the University of Iowa and later earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling.
Background and approach
That combination shaped a flexible, creative approach to care. She brings eight years of counseling experience and uses varied tools to meet each person where they are. Sessions often blend talk-based therapy with expressive options such as music, writing, or nature-based activities when they suit the client.
Chelsea favors methods that teach coping skills, help regulate emotions, and strengthen attachment and self-understanding. She adapts techniques to the client’s needs rather than following a single script. <brHer work includes helping people process trauma, cope with mood or anxiety symptoms, manage addiction-related concerns, and navigate parenting stress.
She also supports those dealing with identity and intimacy questions, relationship difficulties, and life changes. Chelsea practices as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah. She sees people through online formats and offers a collaborative space to set realistic goals and try different ways of working toward them.

Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that match those values. It helps people handle unwanted thoughts and feelings while still living a life that matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and teaches ways to build safer, more connected relationships and better emotional responses.Chelsea combines these approaches with client-centered care to tailor the work. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed to what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or days when leaving home is difficult.
