Chelsea SheedyLCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC, welcomes people who are ready to make changes in their lives. She focuses on practical steps and creative tools to help with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and pregnancy and childbirth related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel understood from the first visit.

Chelsea combines counseling skills with creative techniques from her music therapy background. Sessions may include music, art, writing, or nature-based ideas when those options fit a person's interests. She adapts methods to match each person's strengths rather than using a fixed formula.

She has eight years of clinical experience and supports people facing trauma, abuse, mood disorders, addiction, and complex life transitions. Chelsea also offers help for intimacy and sexual concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, fertility challenges, gender dysphoria questions, and parenting stress. She aims to help people rebuild a sense of safety and meaning after difficult events.

Chelsea uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches so therapy is flexible and goal-focused. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions, and she works collaboratively to set small, achievable steps. Many clients find this mix of creativity and structured skill-building makes progress feel manageable.

People meet Chelsea in a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the pace is set by their needs. Her background in music therapy and a master’s in clinical counseling inform a style that values both emotional insight and practical coping strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Chelsea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them while teaching simple skills to handle uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. EMDR is a method aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and helping people build new, less distressing associations with past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Chelsea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether skills practice, creative exercises, or trauma processing fits best at any point in therapy.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins. Some people prefer shorter remote check-ins for skill practice, while others choose longer sessions for deeper processing; Chelsea adapts the work to match what people need and what works with their schedule.
