About Sheldon
Sheldon Chase helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and big life changes. He is a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience. People come to him when everyday coping feels hard and they want clear steps forward.
He takes a straightforward, calm approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and what can be changed. He offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving communication.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, grief, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Sheldon has worked with many adults over two decades. His experience includes counseling people dealing with substance use, domestic violence aftermath, immigration stresses, and co-occurring health or mental health concerns.
He also supports those struggling with impulsivity, control issues, and complicated grief near end of life. Sessions are built around collaboration. Sheldon helps clients set goals, try new ways of handling problems, and review what works.
He explains options plainly and adjusts his style to match a person’s pace and needs. He holds LCSW credentials in California and Nevada and practices out of Nevada. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible ongoing care.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sheldon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people identify patterns that keep problems repeating, then practices new responses to those patterns to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. Another approach centers on processing traumatic or painful memories at a manageable pace so memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning improves.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on goals, comfort level, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Sessions review progress and shift methods when needed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and have longer, focused conversations. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow brief updates, homework exchange, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
