Chad Nelson, LMFT

Chad Nelson, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi, I’m Chad. I earned my degree from California State University, Fresno and have experience working in private practice, schools, psychiatric hospitals, and with individuals navigating substance use and trauma-related challenges. These diverse settings have given me a deep understanding of how anxiety, life stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, and depression can show up differently for each person—and how important it is to tailor therapy to your unique story and needs. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our work together, you’ll learn practical tools like stress regulation and grounding skills, boundary-setting techniques, communication strategies, and thought-reframing exercises that you can apply in your daily life. Sessions with me are collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. We’ll clarify what you want to change, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and actively practice skills to help you build confidence and momentum between sessions. My goal is not only to help you feel heard and understood, but to equip you with tools that create lasting, meaningful change—so you can feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life.
