About Chelsea Sheedy
Chelsea Sheedy is a licensed clinician and creative practitioner with eight years of professional experience. She trained first as a musician and went on to become a board-certified music therapist after studying at the University of Iowa, later earning a master’s degree in clinical counseling. She holds the credential LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, reflecting her clinical training in assessment and treatment of mental health concerns.
Her practice blends clinical techniques with creative, multimodal methods tailored to each person’s needs and strengths. Sessions may include music or art, guided writing, or nature-based activities when these approaches align with a person’s interests. This flexibility helps make therapeutic work feel relevant and accessible rather than one-size-fits-all.
Sheedy has a particular focus on trauma and abuse, including work with complex PTSD, survivors and offenders of domestic violence, and related healing needs. She also addresses mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, intimacy and sexual concerns, addiction and co-occurring substance use, parenting and family challenges, and life transitions. She is trained in EMDR and adapts that work for distance counseling when appropriate.
Sheedy works with children, adolescents and adults, couples, LGBTQ+ populations, parents and families, offering a compassionate, attentive presence aimed at helping people process experiences, build coping skills, and move toward greater well-being.

Attachment-informed and EMDR-supported online therapy
Chelsea Sheedy integrates several evidence-based approaches into online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current responses - it can help when feelings of abandonment, trust issues, or relationship struggles interfere with daily life. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories and the emotions tied to them by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall; it is often used for trauma and abuse recovery and can be adapted for distance sessions when appropriate. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own goals and pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea works with each person to assess needs, preferences and treatment goals and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging let people connect in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. For many, remote work makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life.
