About Chance

Chance Olivas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with three years of clinical experience supporting adults, college-age students, and athletes through periods of stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life transitions. He integrates practical skills and empathetic listening to help clients address mood concerns, motivation struggles, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the search for life purpose.

Chance tailors each treatment plan to the individual, drawing on evidence-informed methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. He emphasizes respect and collaboration in sessions, working with clients to build confidence, cultivate self-love, and improve coping when confronted with change or isolation. As a licensed professional, Chance applies his training to create a clear, goal-oriented path for those seeking support, while remaining flexible to the unique challenges each person brings.

Approaches and Online Care Tailored to Your Needs

Chance often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to manage anxiety, stress, and low mood. It focuses on developing skills and small experiments that create measurable change.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support from home or on the go, and fit sessions into busy lives while working with a licensed professional.
