Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Chase often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-style trauma work in his clinical practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying small, practical changes to shift mood and reactions; it can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and attention challenges. EMDR-informed trauma work uses structured processing to reduce the hold of painful memories and responses after trauma, and is used when past events continue to disrupt daily life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That means starting with what the client needs and choosing or combining approaches over time rather than promising a single fixed path. Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use tools and worksheets during sessions and practice skills between meetings, which often helps carry changes into everyday life.
