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 issues, and coping with life changes. He accepts clients from outside the U.S. and runs a practice that focuses on practical help rather than labels.

Sheldon uses straightforward conversations to clarify what matters most to each person. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions often focus on building day-to-day strategies for mood, substance use, and relationship problems rather than abstract theories.

He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and addictive patterns. That work can include breaking down overwhelming problems into small steps and practicing new skills between sessions. He also works with people dealing with chronic illness, grief, immigration stress, and issues that overlap with mental health and medical needs.

Sheldon aims to make goals clear and practical. He encourages realistic changes that fit into the client's life, such as communication skills, coping tools, and relapse-prevention steps. Progress is measured by what the client notices in daily life rather than by jargon.

Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Cost varies by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Sheldon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach breaks problems into manageable steps and practices new responses between sessions; this helps with anxiety, addiction triggers, and mood shifts. Another common technique focuses on processing trauma in small, controlled ways so memories become easier to manage and day-to-day functioning improves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheldon collaborates with each client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts plans as progress is observed and as client feedback shapes what comes next.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier when schedules are tight, or let someone choose a format that uses less bandwidth if needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry the same kinds of evidence-based practice into a client's everyday routine, helping skills and strategies transfer into daily life.
