Chelsea Sheedy , LCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC, focuses on helping people find steadiness through life’s hard moments. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and concerns tied to identity and parenting. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at people who want tools they can use between sessions.

Chelsea draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods and adapts sessions to each person. She often blends mindfulness, skills-based work, and attachment-focused conversations to match someone’s needs. Sessions may use creative outlets such as music, writing, or nature-based ideas when those fit a person’s interests.

She has eight years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. Chelsea’s practice includes work with people processing trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, addiction issues, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. She also supports LGBT people and those coping with parenting, grief, or career changes.

Chelsea aims to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In sessions she listens, helps set realistic goals, and teaches coping skills people can use right away. She emphasizes building safety, emotional regulation, and better connection patterns over time.

People who like a practical but creative approach often find her helpful. Chelsea offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs and routines.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building safer, more connected ways of relating to others, which can help intimacy and trust issues.

Chelsea treats approach selection as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, attachment work, skills from DBT, or creative options like music and writing so therapy fits the person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for focused check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can work well for short coaching-style support, between-session check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and travel.
