Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing automatic thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others, which can be important for trauma and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Chase works together with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She may combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more natural. These options aim to make it easier to keep steady progress while balancing work, family, and other demands.
