Chase Carter, LCSW

Chase Carter is an LCSW practicing in Utah. He meets with individuals and couples who are facing emotional strain, relationship struggles, or deep questions about meaning and direction. Chase aims to create a straightforward, down-to-earth space where people can talk honestly about what’s worrying them.

He draws on a mix of ideas from different traditions, both modern and older, Eastern and Western. That means sessions can include talking things through, noticing patterns in day-to-day life, and trying new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Chase often helps people untangle relationship pain, manage addictions, and work through trauma and abuse.

People looking for help with low self-esteem or depression may find practical steps to test out between sessions. He also supports those coping with abandonment concerns, attachment issues, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and problems with communication or commitment. Sessions aim to balance emotional understanding with concrete next steps.

Chase says he works well with people who feel misunderstood by more typical approaches and who want a different way of being heard. His style tends to be collaborative and straightforward. He invites questions and focuses on what the person wants to change or understand.

To begin, a person would choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. This helps match goals and practical needs before the first session.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns that get in the way of meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and beliefs, and then trying small behavior changes to see what helps; it can be practical for mood, self-esteem, and some relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what someone is feeling so they feel heard and understood, which can open space for change in relationships and self-view.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means starting with the person’s immediate concerns, trying things out, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.

If you prefer online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people meet with a licensed professional from where they are, while focusing on the same work they would do in person such as practicing new communication, testing thoughts, and trying value-driven actions.
