Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ashley commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values to move forward.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan matches what the client wants to work on and how they prefer to make change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between meetings or check in on the go. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use techniques in real time.
