About Sheldon
Sheldon Chase is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. He works with individuals who need support coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, or low self-esteem. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical next steps.
He keeps sessions collaborative and goal-oriented. He listens for patterns that fuel problems like substance misuse, codependency, or difficulty communicating.
How Sheldon works
Together with each person he identifies small changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Chase has worked with a wide range of concerns from chronic pain and illness to grief and hospice or end-of-life issues.
He also brings experience addressing personality challenges such as avoidant and antisocial traits, as well as co-morbidity and intellectual disability when they affect mood and behavior. His approach emphasizes real-world strategies. That can mean developing coping plans for anxiety, building relapse prevention tactics for addiction, or practicing clearer ways to ask for what you need in relationships.
He favors steps people can try between sessions so progress carries into everyday life. Based in Nevada, he holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, in California and Nevada. He conducts sessions in English and sees people from different places, including international clients.

Evidence-based approaches and online treatment options
Sheldon describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another common focus is relapse prevention and coping for substance use, which involves identifying triggers, planning alternative responses, and rehearsing strategies to stay on track.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to choose or adapt methods based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for working through hard topics. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, on-the-go reflections, or frequent coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
