How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Chase regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and social fears by teaching practical coping skills. EMDR targets distress linked to traumatic memories and aims to reduce their emotional intensity through guided reprocessing.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches to suit what’s most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and EMDR-informed protocols for remote sessions, focusing on practical steps and gradual exposure for social anxiety and phobia without promising specific outcomes.
