About Ashley
Ashley practices in a client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused way. She helps clients set realistic expectations and work toward goals they identify as meaningful. The therapeutic relationship is central to her practice; she aims to help clients feel heard and to develop the ability to listen to themselves amid the noise of stress and worry. To promote clarity and change less helpful thought patterns, she draws primarily from mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches are applied to issues such as stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career and self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue among caregivers and professionals.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-guided actions. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and the stress of life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic and to improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for reducing reactivity and improving emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, chronic stress, and illness-related distress.
Ashley works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions using evidence-informed methods commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists, adjusting strategies over time as the client progresses.
Online therapy with Ashley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to attend sessions while balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. The focus remains on effective therapeutic work that fits into a client’s life.
