About Marsha
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 contact her for issues like depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and attachment difficulties, and attention-related challenges.
She focuses on helping people who have faced attachment disruptions and past abuse. Her style is caring and interactive. She aims to listen closely, show genuine empathy, and treat each person with respect.
In sessions she combines humanistic and client-centered perspectives with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. That means she spends time getting to know each person before suggesting practical skills and steps to try. Conversations often include identifying workable coping skills, testing new ways of relating, and practicing tools to manage emotions.
Her goal is to help people move through current struggles and build skills for future challenges. She supports people in naming what they need, setting realistic steps, and noticing small changes over time. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Dr. Chase invites people to begin when they feel ready and offers steady support along the way. She aims to create a space where clients can explore hard things, try new responses, and grow clearer about next steps.
How online work can use skills and attachment focus
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns people developed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, closeness, abandonment fears, or parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Chase will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or between other obligations. If you prefer shorter check-ins, or sessions that emphasize talking and practicing skills rather than in-person exercises, mention that when you schedule. Because the therapist's session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current online options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to virtual sessions by focusing on behavioral experiments, values-based actions, and patterns of relating that translate well to conversation and at-home practice.
