About Chance
Chance Olivas uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle life’s ups and downs.
He focuses on relationship struggles, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. He also helps with communication problems, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Mood disorders, social anxiety, and phobias are also listed areas of focus. Chance blends structured techniques with a client-centered attitude. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation skills.
Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy help people rewrite unhelpful stories and set reachable goals. Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect clear tools, short-term strategies, and collaborative goal setting.
He adapts the approach to each person’s needs instead of using the same plan for everyone. Chance has three years of clinical experience and works in English. He offers a range of online formats so sessions can fit into busy schedules.
The process begins by matching on goals and preferences, then scheduling sessions that work for the client.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Chance often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, and social worries. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach ways to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions, which can be useful for stress and relationship conflict. Narrative Therapy is another tool he uses to help people reframe their life stories and clarify values and purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and timing.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and working with worksheets. Phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or maintaining momentum between sessions. These options let people fit work on their mental health into busy lives.
