Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people move through hard moments and reconnect with what matters. She works with individuals who face anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting stress, intimacy concerns including sexual dysfunction, and other life changes. Chelsea writes simply and listens closely to understand each person’s needs.

Chelsea came to counseling after a career in music and music therapy. She earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling following her work as a board certified music therapist. That background shaped a creative, flexible style that taps into the things a person already values.

Her sessions mix practical skills and expressive methods. Some meetings may include music, art, writing, or time outdoors when that fits a person’s interests. Other times she draws on talk-based tools to address anxiety, mood problems, or relationship issues.

Chelsea has eight years of experience and has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, including complex trauma and domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, ADHD, attachment or abandonment concerns, gender dysphoria, fertility stress, and a range of family-of-origin issues.

She uses several approaches in her work, including acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centered care, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Chelsea aims to tailor sessions to each person’s goals and strengths in a warm, nonjudgmental way.

How Chelsea's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then takes steps toward a life that reflects personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that involve getting unblocked on what matters. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that supports processing painful memories and reducing their emotional intensity; it can help people who have experienced abuse or complex trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns that began early in life, addressing abandonment, attachment wounds, and how those patterns show up now.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between errands. The therapist will discuss what will work best given individual needs and daily routines.
