Evidence-based approaches for online therapy
Ashley uses person-centered counseling to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's goals. This approach helps clarify what matters most and guides each step toward practical change. She also applies cognitive behavior techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.When it fits a person's needs, Ashley may use Brainspotting, a method that can help people access and process difficult memories and sensations. She has experience offering Brainspotting via telehealth and adapts how the technique is used to the online setting. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches feel most helpful and how to blend them over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing processing between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiver routines and to continue work from different locations.
