How Chase’s approaches fit with online therapy
Chase uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stress. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool he uses to set concrete goals and try small changes that can make daily life easier.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Chase works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration may include trying different techniques and checking how they feel over time so adjustments can be made together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from different locations within Kentucky, which can be helpful for those balancing school, work, or caregiving duties.
