How Marsha works
She also supports people dealing with trauma and attachment disruptions. Her style is caring and interactive. She aims to understand each person and build a personalized plan rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.

The work is focused and hands-on so people leave with tools they can use right away. Dr. Chase helps clients identify patterns that get in the way and practices new ways of responding.
Her goal is to help people feel more confident in handling their lives and relationships. When someone chooses to begin, she offers steady support through the process.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches to use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, using empathy and genuine listening to help people feel heard and to build self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Chase will listen to your goals and try methods that match what you want to change. She treats approach selection as a collaboration and adjusts strategies based on what helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text can be useful for quick updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue work when life changes.
