About Sheldon
Sheldon Chase is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with 22 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Sheldon also focuses on codependency and other patterns that make it hard to set limits or keep a sense of self.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. He helps people name the patterns that cause pain and test small changes to feel different in day-to-day life. Conversations look at how habits, relationships, and past experiences shape current choices. He offers tools for handling strong emotions and responding instead of reacting.
Sheldon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work with addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. He pays attention to how health problems, immigration stress, or caregiving pressures affect mental health. He listens for ways control issues, communication breakdowns, and shame get in the way of making changes.
Over two decades, Sheldon has worked with a broad range of concerns including chronic pain and illness, impulsivity, intellectual disability, and end-of-life issues. He helps people sort through practical options and set realistic steps when life circumstances are complex. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and steadier coping.
Sheldon offers counseling in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling through the platform's matching and scheduling tools.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Sheldon uses proven therapeutic techniques to guide work on addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by practicing new responses to stress and triggers. This method helps reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and supports clearer decision making. Another approach works with processing past traumatic events in a paced way so memories feel less overwhelming and reactions become easier to manage. That can help people who struggle with impulsivity or substance use patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheldon discusses options with each person and adapts methods based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with short-term steps agreed on together and regular check-ins about how strategies are working.
Confirm the current online session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting counseling into a busy life - shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, video allows face-to-face discussion when travel is difficult, and phone sessions use less bandwidth when connections are limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to make therapy easier to attend while focusing on the same therapeutic work they would cover in person.
