How his approaches translate to online work
Chase commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his clinical work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and communication problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories when past events affect current functioning.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and try small, concrete changes between sessions. That approach is useful for stepping through parenting challenges, communication problems, or specific household routines in blended families. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then agree on the most helpful methods to try.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the supplied information. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people join from quieter surroundings, or avoid being on camera for a session if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals work with clients to match session length and focus to everyday life demands.
