Dr. Marsha Chase, LMFT

Dr. Marsha Chase is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Pennsylvania with eight years of 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, trauma and attachment problems, and sexual dysfunction needs.

She focuses on attachment disruptions and survivors of abuse, helping people name what happened and how it affects current relationships. Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to listen closely and respond without judgment.

Dr. Chase uses a blend of approaches to match each person. She draws from client-centered thinking, cognitive behavioral methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and elements of dialectical behavior work. That mix lets her pair practical skills with attention to feelings and values.

Sessions are collaborative. She works to understand a person’s goals, then builds simple steps to reach them. People can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and problem-solving that fits their life.

The aim is to help people manage current struggles and build tools for future challenges. Dr. Chase emphasizes safety, respect, and realistic next steps so people can feel steadier and more able to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and some anger or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet from their own daily routines, which helps practice new skills between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists vary in how they offer sessions, and Dr. Chase will discuss practical arrangements during the matching process to find a rhythm that works.
