About Sheldon
Sheldon Chase is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. He works with clients who are dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with life changes, and low self-esteem. Sheldon practices in Nevada and offers services in English, including to international clients.
His sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings. He listens for what matters most to each person and then helps set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at reducing immediate symptoms while building longer-term coping skills. Sheldon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address complex issues like substance use, co-morbidity, and chronic illness. He also supports people facing communication problems, control issues, codependency, and the emotional effects of immigration or end-of-life concerns.
In cases involving trauma or domestic violence, he prioritizes safety and paced progress. Over two decades of practice have given him experience with a wide range of presentations, including personality-related challenges such as avoidant and antisocial traits, impulsivity, and intellectual disability. That background informs how he adapts strategies to each person’s needs.

Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online
Sheldon uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and measurable progress. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress through breathing, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach concentrates on relapse prevention and strategies for addictive behaviors, helping people identify triggers, plan safer choices, and develop healthier routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheldon will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust methods over time based on how well they work for the individual.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when more nuance is needed, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick updates or when writing helps process thoughts. These options increase scheduling flexibility and let people choose the format that best supports their progress.
