About Chad Starrak

Chad Starrak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas who offers therapy for people who feel stuck, anxious, or burned out, and who want a clearer sense of direction and strength. His work supports clients navigating concerns such as trauma, chronic pain, performance blocks, and the ongoing demands that can come with caregiving. He approaches the therapeutic process with the belief that meaningful change starts when a person feels genuinely seen and understood rather than reduced to a label.

Chad helps clients make sense of their experiences, identify what is keeping them feeling stalled, and move toward greater clarity and momentum. He brings a trauma-informed approach that draws on insights from neuroscience, and he works with teens, adults, creatives, and caregivers. Sessions are designed to be structured while remaining compassionate, with an emphasis on addressing underlying patterns rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms.

As the founder of Questline Counseling in Kyle, Texas, Chad integrates evidence-based methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with narrative and parts-based work, to support clients in reconnecting with their inner resources and building a path forward.

Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Chad Starrak, LCSW, draws from several evidence-based approaches to help clients work through stress, anxiety, trauma, and the feeling of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It can be especially helpful for noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing more workable ways of responding in daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, trauma-informed method that helps people process difficult experiences in a way that can feel less overwhelming over time. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning to relate differently to thoughts and sensations, building steadiness and self-awareness, especially during high stress or burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chad collaborates with each client to understand what they are hoping to change, what has or has not helped before, and what style of therapy feels like the best fit. The goal is to tailor sessions to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy also makes support more flexible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to stay connected to the work even with a busy schedule, limited energy, or changing needs.
