How her approaches fit in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships to understand current trust and closeness challenges and can help with attachment disruptions and codependency. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to help people feel understood and to find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Chase will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods make the most sense given their goals, history, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time if something is not helping.
