Chase Longnaker, LMFT

Chase Longnaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Kentucky with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults, adolescents, and children on problems like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. His practice includes work with first responder individuals and their families following CFRC training.

Chase draws from several evidence-informed approaches. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also uses EMDR in a basic level capacity to address traumatic memories and trauma-focused methods for post-traumatic stress. Solution-Focused Therapy guides shorter-term goals and practical steps clients can try between sessions.

In sessions he is direct and task-oriented. People meet to name the problem, try techniques, and track small changes. For relationship and family concerns he helps people look at patterns and communication rather than assign blame.

He has experience creating safety and crisis plans when needed and completes detailed treatment and progress notes. His background includes work across different communities in Kentucky and clinical roles that involved mental health assessment and management.

Chase also works with issues tied to family of origin, codependency, commitment and communication problems, impulsivity, and forgiveness. He applies approaches that fit the concern and the person’s goals, and he helps clients focus on specific steps they can practice between appointments.
