Background and approach
That means the direction of counseling follows the client's needs and goals. Chad offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term sessions for deeper personal exploration. In sessions he emphasizes a collaborative tone.
He listens for strengths, points out patterns that keep problems going, and helps build skills to manage emotions and behaviors. Motivational approaches are used when people want to change habits related to drug and alcohol use. Chad also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotional regulation and impulse control.
He can incorporate relationship tools from the Gottman Method to improve communication and trust when relationship issues are part of the concern. People seeking help with addiction, anger, or trauma will find practical strategies and goal-focused planning. Chad works in plain language and aims to make steps feel doable rather than overwhelming.
He supports clients as they practice new skills between sessions.

Online approaches that match your goals
Chad uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's goals and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions, which can help when stress, depression, or relationship issues feel stuck.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, which teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. DBT techniques are useful for anger, emotional dysregulation, and patterns tied to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chad will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and plans can shift as needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions let people work more like an in-person appointment, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, and messaging or live chat can be used for quick check-ins or between-session support. These formats make it easier to keep consistent therapy while balancing work, family, and treatment for issues like addiction or anger management.
