About Sheldon

Sheldon Chase is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with 22 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on related concerns such as chronic pain and illness, substance use, codependency, communication problems, and grief at the end of life.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations identify what feels stuck and which small changes might make daily life easier. He helps people sort through relationship tensions and intimacy questions, tackle substance use patterns, and manage overwhelming anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Sheldon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood problems, and behavior patterns. He helps clients challenge unhelpful beliefs and rehearse different ways of responding to stress. The work often includes developing coping plans, learning communication steps, and practicing strategies between sessions.

He brings two decades of experience to complex cases that involve co-occurring issues. That includes people coping with chronic illness, intellectual disability, immigration-related stress, or personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or antisocial traits. He supports conversations about guilt, control issues, and domestic violence in clear, goal-focused ways.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Sheldon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, trauma, and behavior patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; it involves setting small experiments and practicing alternative responses in daily life. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way, helping people reduce the immediate hold of distressing memories and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheldon treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will review what is helping and what feels unhelpful. Together the client and he adjust methods and goals based on the person’s needs, preferences, and what shows progress in sessions.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy week. Online options can reduce travel time and allow check-ins during short breaks. If you plan to work together, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available to you.
