Thoughtful Approaches, Flexible Online Support
Dr. Marsha Chase integrates structured and relationship-focused methods to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values. This approach can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence needs, trust, and connection, which can be useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, and the effects of attachment disruptions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Chase collaborates with clients to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adjust the pace and focus over time, so therapy feels personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy also makes it easier to fit support into real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and accessibility between scheduled appointments.
