About Chance
LMHC Chance Olivas is a New York licensed mental health counselor with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self esteem, life changes, and coaching. Sessions use practical approaches such as CBT, DBT, narrative work, solution-focused techniques, and parts work. He works in English and practices in New York.
Chance frames sessions around clear goals and concrete skills. He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and teaches tools to change those patterns. Typical work includes thought records, behavior experiments, emotion regulation skills, and short-term problem solving.
He also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences. That approach looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and asks which parts are useful and which can be revised. Internal Family Systems work is used to understand different internal parts and how they interact.
Chance often combines skills training with focused conversations about values and life direction. He addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Coaching-style conversations may be used to increase motivation and follow-through.
Past work has included adults, college-age students, and athletes. The first session typically establishes goals, assesses current coping, and outlines a practical plan. To begin, prospective clients complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online matching flow.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with experiments and behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, mood changes, and social fears. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It is practical for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and building steady coping tools.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and the events in their life. It helps separate the person from the problem and opens space to rewrite limiting narratives.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, current struggles, and preferences, then suggest skills or conversational methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide together what fits best and adjust over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while they learn new skills.
