Background and approach

Chase aims to make sessions straightforward and solutions-oriented, so busy families can use what they learn right away.

Chase describes therapy as a team effort where families set priorities and try manageable steps toward better functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Chase commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and learning new skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and reactions when trauma is a central concern.

He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and identify small, practical changes families can try quickly. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to the family’s goals, age ranges, and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different routines and schedules. These formats make it easier for parents to fit sessions around school and work, follow up between meetings, and access care from home. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods so families get targeted support without added travel time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
