About Chad
Chad Dingman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has about 10 years of experience listed for this profile. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, life changes, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He approaches therapy in a collaborative, client-centered way. Sessions focus on practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and moments of mindfulness to reduce reactivity. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and those managing strong emotions like anger or grief.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He then helps people try small, doable changes and notice what shifts. Work might include examining unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding or breathing, and planning concrete steps for managing reactions in daily life.
Chad has substantial experience in oncology and behavioral health settings and has supervised other clinicians. That background informs his work with people facing medical-related loss and stress, although he also sees a broader range of concerns related to mood and coping.
He uses plain language in sessions and focuses on skills people can use between meetings. The site’s booking flow asks you to answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options provided. Confirm the current session formats before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks about immediate concerns, reflects what he hears, and helps set practical goals that matter to the client. This approach is useful when someone needs a direct conversation about anger patterns and real-life challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can guide people to notice unhelpful thoughts that fuel anger and practice alternative ways of thinking and responding. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and anger management because it emphasizes clear skills you can try between sessions.
Mindfulness work helps with noticing bodily signals and stepping out of automatic reactions. Brief grounding and breathing exercises can be coached in a session and practiced afterward to reduce reactivity in heated moments.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This helps make sessions feel practical and focused on day-to-day change.
The platform’s scheduling flow asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people practice skills in the contexts where they need them most.
