Approaches for Online Care and Relationship Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and situations that feel emotionally overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships influence current patterns in connections with others. This approach supports work on relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and healing from attachment disruptions or trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn new strategies to cope. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and challenges that benefit from structured skill building.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Marsha Chase works collaboratively with each client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, then adapts methods from these approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations within the therapist’s service area, and engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable and practical for them.
