How Chase’s Approaches Work Online
Chase commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-style trauma work in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. EMDR-style approaches involve guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and persistent trauma symptoms.Picking the right approach is a team effort. Chase will talk with each person about their goals, current symptoms, and past experiences. Together they choose methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem solving, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around school, work, and family life rather than taking time away from them.
