About Sheldon

Sheldon Chase is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience practicing in Nevada. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. He also addresses related areas such as chronic illness, substance issues, codependency, and communication problems.

He uses clear, practical conversations to help people name problems and try small changes. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, testing new behaviors, and building everyday skills that can reduce distress. He explains options in straightforward terms so people can choose what feels doable.

Sheldon pays attention to how mood, past events, and relationships affect daily life. He helps clients sort through guilt, shame, impulse-driven actions, and issues linked to trauma or loss. Work may include planning steps to manage addiction, improving communication, or finding ways to cope with chronic pain or illness.

He values collaboration in setting goals and deciding which techniques to try first. Progress is tracked in practical ways, with adjustments when something isn’t working. Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps they can practice between meetings.

Sheldon sees clients in Nevada and offers services in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the provider’s online flow.

Approaches and working online

Sheldon uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to anxiety, trauma, and addiction work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative thoughts through practical exercises that reduce avoidance and worry. This helps with social anxiety and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Another approach concentrates on behavior change and skill-building. It emphasizes practicing new responses to triggers, improving communication, and building routines that support mood and impulse control. This method is often used for addiction, codependency, and managing chronic illness symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sheldon will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. He adjusts the plan based on what helps in real life so the work stays practical and focused on clear next steps.

Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue care when they are not physically near a Nevada office, while the therapist and client collaborate on which techniques to use in virtual sessions.
