Background and approach

Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and short homework to reinforce progress between meetings. With ten years of experience, Ashley draws on both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to address worry, low mood, and relationship strain. She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions for people who want tools to manage stress and focus.

Ashley holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and is also a Licensed Independent Social Worker. She works with adults facing addictions, grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and many other challenges. She offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a session according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often involve short exercises and homework that fit well into online formats and help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also works in a client-centered way that emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborative problem solving. This approach helps clients feel heard and guides goal-setting at a comfortable pace during video or chat sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide whether CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or a client-centered focus makes the most sense. That choice is made together and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins, ongoing reflections, or expanded asynchronous contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, work breaks, or travel.
