Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Chase commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and may be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress symptoms.He also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and build practical coping steps. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and pick methods that fit the person’s needs.
Session logistics and exact online formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and enabling shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let a therapist use screen-shared worksheets, guided breathing, or EMDR-oriented exercises adapted for remote work when clinically appropriate.
