Chad uses an approach that centers the person and their goals. He offers short-term, solution-focused work or longer-term sessions for deeper exploration. The aim is to help people notice strengths and build practical ways to handle problems.

He also has experience addressing trauma and abuse, and offers interventions for drug and alcohol addiction. For relationship concerns he uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication, trust, and connection between partners when couples work together.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Chad commonly draws on Existential Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when life feels confusing or empty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people can name their goals and move at their own pace. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chad will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things out, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps express thoughts. These options allow scheduling around work, childcare, or travel and make it simpler to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
