Chad brings eight years of professional experience as an LPC. He adapts his approach depending on what is most helpful, drawing on cognitive and behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.

He encourages anyone nervous about first steps to reach out and complete the short matching form so scheduling can be arranged according to availability.
Practical approaches for online care
Chad uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. Mindfulness practices are used alongside these methods to help people stay present and reduce reactivity.Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Chad discusses goals and preferences and then adjusts the approach to match what a person needs. He focuses on clear, shared goals and practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - shorter check-ins by chat or text can work on a lunch break, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and video calls allow face-to-face conversation. The variety helps people access care in ways that match their routines and needs.
