Online support
Online approaches that focus on patterns and practical skills
Dr. Chase uses methods that help people notice interaction patterns and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then committing to actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and connection needs, and it supports people working through attachment disruptions and relational worry. The Gottman Method informs her relationship work by offering ways to understand interaction cycles and improve communication and emotional connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as the work unfolds. The choice of techniques is collaborative and driven by what the client needs to make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for finding a format that helps people stay consistent with care.
