About Sheldon

Sheldon Chase is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He practices in Nevada and works with individuals who are coping with big life changes, chronic health challenges, or difficulties with self‑esteem. Sheldon focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use right away.

He creates a calm space to talk through what is happening now and how the past may still affect daily life. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Sheldon helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and develop skills for emotional regulation and better communication.

Over two decades in practice have given him experience with a wide range of issues, including substance use, trauma and abuse, grief and end‑of‑life concerns, immigration stress, and personality‑related challenges. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, intellectual disability, and co‑occurring conditions.

Sheldon prefers a collaborative approach. He works with each person to set reasonable goals and track progress. Practical tools, gentle challenge to limiting beliefs, and ongoing feedback are typical parts of his work.

People who choose him often want straightforward strategies and steady guidance while they rebuild confidence and relationships. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based techniques and online work fit together

Sheldon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical problem solving and emotional regulation. One common approach teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life, which can help with anxiety and low mood. Another useful method emphasizes building daily routines and coping strategies to manage stress, cravings, or chronic pain and illness, giving people concrete steps to follow.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheldon treats therapy as a collaborative process and will explore which techniques match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He reviews progress and adapts methods if something isn’t working, so the plan evolves with the client.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in meetings when that suits a schedule. Some people find remote sessions help maintain continuity when managing health issues or busy routines. Ask about available session options when you set up the first appointment.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
