About Marsha

Dr. Marsha Chase is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience across family homes, residential programs, schools, and outpatient settings.

Background and approach

She has worked with people facing a broad spectrum of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, attachment disruptions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes focused attention on attachment issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, and complex presentations such as dissociation and co-morbid conditions.

Her approach is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect for each person's individuality. She blends humanistic, client-centered attitudes with cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment strategies, and solution-focused techniques to create tailored plans.

Dr. Chase emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard while helping clients build practical skills for coping with life changes, anger, control or communication struggles, and mood challenges.

Clients who choose her work with someone who prioritizes collaboration: she aims to provide a steady presence while helping people identify needs, try new strategies, and strengthen self-understanding. When a person is ready to begin, she offers guidance and support through the process of exploring and addressing the concerns that brought them to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Dr. Chase uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present; this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior, which is often helpful for attachment disruptions, relationship concerns, and trauma-related issues. In practice she blends these with client-centered listening and skills-oriented strategies to tailor support to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Chase works collaboratively to determine what best suits a client's goals and preferences. She discusses options, invites input about what feels most helpful, and adjusts methods over time so the plan evolves with the client's progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules or stay connected from different locations. These formats allow ongoing access to a licensed professional and support consistent work on coping skills, communication patterns, and emotional regulation without requiring travel to an office.
