How Chase Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Chase commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical skills and exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools people can use between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they are less disruptive; it is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma responses.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Chase will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they set priorities and try approaches that match the client's needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
