About me
Hello, My name is Chase Longnaker and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Kentucky. I am an experienced clinical professional with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care industry. Some of my skill sets include leadership, provision of therapeutic services and mental health/ behavioral assessments to individuals and families experiencing PTSD, Major Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Suicide, Self-Harm, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder related symptoms. Crisis management and safety plan development, detailed treatment plan development, and organizational/ professional documentation skills in keeping detailed, confidential client records.
As a LMFT professional I have had the opportunity to counsel a diverse population of clients economically, geographically, and culturally. My primary focus has been working with children (ages 7 to 11), adolescents (ages 12-17), and young adults (ages 18+). Teenage years can truly be some of the most challenging stages of life due to personal identity development; physical and mental development, relational uncertainties, family conflict etcetera. I remember facing feelings of anxiousness, self doubt, difficulties staying on task, not belonging due to bullying and frustration with myself for being too scared to ask for help. Thankfully I had several people that stepped into my life and helped me to think more clearly, feel more confident, and make wiser choices with my actions. . It was these relationships that kickstarted a desire within me to reach out and help others as I had been helped. This desire eventually lead me to my current career and passion as a teenage, young adult and family therapist.
As a mental health professional, one of my primary goals is to utilize empathetic, genuine, and evidence based counseling approaches to help provide impactful changes in individuals and families. My primary areas of clinical modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy , Solutions Focused Therapy, Bowenian Family Therapy, and Basic Level EMDR Therapy.
The clinical experience that I have obtained as a therapist has taught me that people are resilient and under the right circumstances and stressors have the desire and drive to change for the better. This resiliency and drive in people is where I find true passion and inspiration to serve as a mental health professional. Having the opportunity to guide clients to breakthrough moments is what makes me passionate about my job. This same passion is what also drives me to play a part in helping individuals and families process the past, heal in the present, and move towards a positive and meaningful future. I hope that this information provides you with a little insight into who I am on both a professional and personal level. Thank you, and I look forward to the opportunity to help both you and your family on your therapeutic journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Chase Longnaker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Chase continues to be impactful in terms of my growth as a person while providing patience, guidance & encouragement to continue on in this life. Personally, I thought I was a lost cause, but Chase has shown me that is far from the truth. Behind the scenes, Chase is uber analytical & persistent in looking at all of the angles to find the root cause. Chase has never disappointed. He makes those 30 mins worth while.
Chase has changed my life. I have never been so supported by a therapist. Not only does he address my needs, but he also challenges me where I need to be challenged. Chase brings a level of comfort to our sessions that makes me feel at ease even in tough times and hard conversations. This balance has improved my life and mental well-being drastically. I am grateful that teencounseling.com paired me with the best therapist for me.
I have learned a lot about myself through therapy with Chase. He listens to me explain situations that I think are minor and he delves deeper to the way I grew up It helps me understand why I do the things I do and react the way I do…and more importantly, how to overcome those traumatic experiences. I signed up for teen counseling because of anxiety from being out of work for a long time because I didn’t know where else to turn. But in the process of working through that, Chase has helped me recognize things about my upbringing that impact the way I relate to the people around me that negatively impact the way I approach relationships that I never knew were issues. Now comes the hard work of learning to be a more healthy person, which is hard, but with Chase and teen counseling I know I have the support I need while I learn.
I highly recommend Chase!
I've worked with a couple of other therapists that were randomly assigned to me through my EAP via teencounseling.com, and Chase is far and away the most empathetic, grounded, well-spoken, and knowledgeable about the issues I'm struggling with (in particular, adult ADHD, trauma and anxiety, personally and professionally). He's the best therapist I've worked with and I appreciate his professionalism and empathetic style so much.
He’s a miracle worker!
He's so kind and patient, and at a time when I'm so desperate for comfort just knowing I've got someone on my side is really helpful.
A great therapy experience. Has helped me tremendously.
Simply the best
Therapy has been absolutely life changing and I am so thankful for teen counseling & chase to help me get through these last few months.
Chase has helped me tremendously in just a few short months. I feel truly understood and have gained so much insight of layers of myself I never acknowledged. He has helped me become a more patient, thoughtful, forgiving person and that has improved all of my relationships - with my self, family, partner, friends and with all the people I work with.
Chase is a very good listener. He always gives me great advice. I wish I could talk to him every day. He has really helped me with some of my issues I have been dealing with and continues to help me. I have great confidence in him.
Chase is extremely professional, easy to talk to, and just a all around good guy. Only a few sessions in I feel changed and so excited to see where this all will take me. Being my first therapist I was super worried but he has erased those fears and I highly recommend him!
Chase listens and understands my individual needs.
Outstanding counselor, and provides great insight!
Chase has been great in every possible way. This has been a great experience all around.
Great guy. Very helpful listens to me
This was my first time beginning therapy of any kind & Chase was immediately so friendly & disarming, & our sessions have been nothing but helpful. Thank you, Chase!
Chase is a great therapist. He definitely knows in depth human psychology and will build a customized plan for your needs. Highly recommend

Chase is a great counselor. Available for messaging during non scheduled times a lot. Helped me through a very hard time of my life. Highly recommend
Very responsive. Listens well and has shared some very helpful tools/exercises to work through issues.
Chase is amazing! He continues to support me in healing and guides me toward fullness in Christ, which is just what I need!
I love how he listens to my concerns and gives me great advice! He is friendly and very supportive!
Chase is friendly, professional, and engaging. He is very responsive to messages and works to find some therapies that will work including recommending books. He has already offered excellent feedback, and I look forward to continue working with him.
Chase has been helpful from the moment we got matched. I really appreciated that he began our sessions by asking me what I wanted to get out of therapy and what major feelings/events brought me to seek out professional help. He then helped me to set specific goals to base our sessions and conversations on, and his intentionality, kindness, and advice has been extremely helpful. I appreciate his attention to details, the extra work he provides for me in between sessions, and how he makes me feel like he’s within reach if I did need something urgent. It gives me a sense of security, validation, and support.
