Chad Stewart, LCPC

Chad Stewart is a person-centered counselor based in Montana who spent five years working directly with students, parents, and families in a local school district. He has learned and used full scale Chippewa Cree tribal methods and practices to offer culturally relevant approaches tailored to the community he serves. He has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career issues, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and ADHD, and he has supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

He holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and brings a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive counseling style to each session. He emphasizes respect, dignity, and equality, and avoids stigmatizing labels when working with people. He expects clients to bring their concerns to the table and positions himself as a source of perspective rather than the one who leads every conversation. He strives to create a space where individuals and families can explore practical options and find a path forward. He looks forward to working with people who are ready to begin the therapeutic process.

Approach-driven Online Therapy with Flexible Care Options

Chad Stewart uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the center of care - this approach focuses on empathetic listening, validation, and collaboration, and it can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety by helping people stay grounded in the present moment. When trauma or abuse is part of a person's history, trauma-focused work is available to gently help process painful memories and develop coping strategies tailored to recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chad works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online therapy with Chad is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, while still working with a licensed professional who tailors care to individual circumstances.
