About Chase

Chase Longnaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Kentucky with ten years of clinical experience. He brings a background in family systems and trauma-informed care to his work, offering evidence-based methods such as Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches.

Background and approach

Chase has provided therapy and assessments for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and mood disorders like bipolar presentation. His practice emphasizes practical, compassionate support aimed at helping clients navigate life changes and resolve recurring patterns that interfere with relationships and daily functioning.

Chase has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families, and has additional training to support first responder populations. He values a collaborative therapeutic relationship that helps clients identify goals, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.

Chase’s clinical background includes crisis management, safety planning, and developing structured treatment plans. He aims to create a respectful space where individuals and families can explore their history, improve communication, and develop strategies to manage stress, self-esteem challenges, and intimacy-related issues.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Internal Family Systems helps people explore the different parts of themselves, learning to relate to internal thoughts and feelings with curiosity and care rather than judgment; it can be useful for issues like self-esteem, internal conflict, and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and skills practice, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the lingering impact of traumatic memories by processing distressing experiences in a structured way, supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider symptom patterns, treatment history, and practical goals to shape a plan that may combine approaches over time for a tailored course of work.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and allow licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed interventions in ways that suit each client’s life.
