Chad Buske, LMHC

Chad Buske approaches therapy from a humanistic perspective, believing that the ways people interpret and find meaning in life events shape resilience and wellbeing. He helps clients examine stressors and obstacles, guiding them toward practical coping strategies or deeper exploration depending on each person’s goals. Chad emphasizes courage in change and offers support that highlights clients’ strengths while honoring their pace and priorities.

He provides short-term, solution-focused counseling as well as longer-term work that dives into personal experience. His style is authentic, respectful, compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental, designed to create a therapeutic atmosphere where clients can pursue growth and discover the answers they seek. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Chad brings 14 years of professional experience to his practice in New York.

Chad has experience assisting people with stress and anxiety, substance use and drug or alcohol addiction, trauma and abuse, anger management, emotional dysregulation, bipolar conditions, relationship concerns, and depression. He also offers couples counseling using the Sound Relationship House model to help partners strengthen trust, commitment, and mutual understanding. Prospective clients can expect a partner in the work who tailors the direction of therapy to individual needs and goals.

Approaches Used Online and What to Expect

Chad integrates client-centered principles into online sessions by creating a supportive environment that centers each person’s needs and goals. This approach emphasizes active listening and collaboration so clients can explore values, build insight, and find personally meaningful solutions; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. DBT tools can be especially useful for people who experience emotional dysregulation, anger, or patterns of impulsive behavior.

For couples work, Chad draws on methods aligned with the Gottman approach and the Sound Relationship House model to help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and increase commitment. Those sessions focus on concrete strategies to improve understanding and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chad works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access care from home or elsewhere. These options support consistent engagement and make it practical to continue work even when in-person visits are not possible.
