Dr. Marsha Chase, LMFT

Dr. Marsha Chase is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She has worked in homes, residential programs, schools, and outpatient settings. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting struggles, attention issues, grief, and trauma-related problems. She often helps people who face attachment disruptions and those affected by abuse or trauma. Her approach mixes human-centered care with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based therapies. She aims to know each person personally before suggesting a plan. Dr. Chase describes her style as caring and interactive. She centers empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard in sessions. That means she listens, reflects, and responds to what each person needs in the moment. In practical terms she focuses on helping people build coping skills and clearer ways to meet their needs. Sessions may include talking through relationships, practicing emotion regulation skills, or learning new ways to handle stress and mood shifts. She encourages steady, collaborative progress rather than quick fixes. People are invited to explore challenges at a pace that feels manageable. When someone is ready to start, she offers support through each step of that journey.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Dr. Chase uses a mix of structured skills work and person-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for coping with life changes and chronic stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit for people who struggle with connection and trust after early disruptions. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and helps people experiment with new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending techniques from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to discuss practical details and how sessions can be arranged to match your routine.
