About Chase

Chase Longnaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Kentucky with a decade of clinical experience. He brings a background in working across age groups - children, adolescents, and young adults - as well as adults, couples, and families.

Background and approach

His training includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, basic-level EMDR training, and certification to work with first responders, which informs his work with trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Chase emphasizes evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies while also drawing on trauma-focused tools and internal systems perspectives.

He aims to combine empathetic listening with structured treatment planning, crisis management skills, and practical interventions that address problems like relationship conflict, parenting challenges, mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, grief, and life transitions.

His practice reflects a belief in client resilience and a collaborative approach to helping people process the past, find relief in the present, and work toward meaningful change in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Chase commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship distress through practical exercises and skills-building. EMDR uses structured processing to help people work through traumatic memories and the emotions they stir, which can reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms when introduced carefully.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a client's history, goals, and preferences before recommending one or a combination of methods, and adjustments are made over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for people who prefer different communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage appointments around work or family responsibilities, and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
