Practical, skills-based therapy you can access online
Dr. Marsha Chase draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional needs, trust, and connection. This approach can be especially helpful for people navigating relationship strain, attachment disruptions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may also be used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tools for moments when feelings run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Chase works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not helped before, and what feels comfortable, then tailors sessions around those goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility without putting life on hold. Clients can meet with Dr. Chase through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for additional support and reflection between sessions.
