About Chase
Chase Carter is an LCSW practicing in Utah who focuses on helping people manage relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He meets individuals and couples and aims to create a straightforward, human conversation about what is causing pain. Chase writes plainly and listens closely to understand what someone needs right now.
Before becoming a social worker, he drew on a wide range of philosophical and therapeutic ideas. He mixes practical skills with attention to meaning and connection.
Background and approach
Sessions often include looking at patterns of thought and behavior, while also talking about values and what matters most. Chase uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based approaches to build skills for staying present. He also brings elements of emotionally-focused practice to help people name and shift painful feelings during relationship work.
Therapy is tailored to what each person wants to change. He pays attention to common issues like abandonment concerns, attachment struggles, codependency, communication problems, and chronic health stress. Chase also supports people dealing with aging, caregiving strain, body image, and recovery from breakup or divorce.
People who prefer clear, conversational sessions where ideas are translated into small steps tend to do well with him. He aims to help people find more effective ways of coping, clearer communication, and choices that fit their values.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and to take steps that align with their values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and persistent struggles where avoidance is a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It often helps with mood, coping skills, and breaking cycles of negative thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and shifting strong emotions in close relationships to improve connection and communication.Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical choices for how to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments while using the clinician's approaches to guide progress.
