Chase Carter, LCSW

Chase Carter is an LCSW based in Utah with four years of practice experience. He works with individuals and couples who are facing relationship struggles, addiction, depression, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. Chase draws on a mix of modern and traditional ideas to shape his sessions. He aims to offer a different approach for people who have felt misunderstood by typical therapy methods.

In sessions he focuses on clear, practical conversation. He listens for what matters most and helps people name patterns that get in the way. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take small steps toward them.

Chase also brings client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas into the room. That means the work often centers on understanding emotions and improving communication in relationships. He pays attention to attachment-related themes and how past losses or abandonment shape present choices.

People come to him for a range of concerns beyond relationships and mood. His practice includes support around caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image, codependency, and aging and geriatric issues. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for daily life.

Chase encourages collaboration about goals and methods. He prefers to tailor the pace and tools to each person’s needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and for people struggling to move forward despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that fuel distress. It is often used for mood and behavior changes and for building practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving how partners or individuals express needs and connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chase will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. He adapts tools from ACT, CBT, and EFT to match the problem at hand rather than sticking to a single model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate quieter surroundings or simpler audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the initial scheduling step to pick the session format that best fits daily life and goals.
