Dr. Marsha Chase, LMFT

Dr. Marsha Chase is a Pennsylvania-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 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 anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, trauma and attachment issues, and ADHD-related struggles.

She takes a caring, interactive approach in sessions. Dr. Chase emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. She aims to learn each person's history and priorities before suggesting a plan.

Her work draws on humanistic, client-centered ideas alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit a person’s needs. In practice this means talking through patterns, building practical skills, and trying small, testable changes.

Dr. Chase focuses on helping people build skills to manage current problems and to cope with future difficulties. She often supports people dealing with grief, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and co-occurring mood conditions. The emphasis is on clear, doable steps rather than abstract labels.

If someone is ready to start, she asks them to use the site’s continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take small actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early caregiving patterns and how they shape current relationships; it helps people understand relational habits and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful space so people can find their own solutions and build self-worth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Chase aims to collaborate on what makes sense for each person, matching methods to goals and comfort level. She reviews how different tools might help and adjusts the plan as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone try techniques between meetings and bring real-life situations into session conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and client-centered methods to remote formats while focusing on practical, step-by-step progress.
