How his approaches translate to online work
Chase commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-informed techniques. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior, then practicing small changes to reduce reactivity and manage anger or anxiety. EMDR basics involve structured processing of upsetting memories so they interfere less with current mood and relationships.He also uses solution-focused methods that set short-term goals and concrete steps to change how situations play out. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps the most.
