Ashley McGarity, LMHC

Ashley McGarity is a licensed mental health therapist who works primarily with adults facing challenges related to inattentiveness, difficulty focusing, emotional regulation, and anxiety connected to ADHD. She also has a focused practice addressing anxiety disorders and relationship concerns, including attachment-related difficulties, communication challenges, and boundary setting. Ashley blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with DBT skill sets to teach practical coping strategies, and she draws on existential ideas to help people clarify values and explore a sense of purpose.

Ashley holds the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - a professional license indicating formal training and state authorization to provide counseling services. She emphasizes individualized care and does not use a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, she works collaboratively with each person to develop habits, strategies, and skills tailored to that individual s needs, interests, and life context.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Flexibility

Ashley McGarity integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients depending on their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning - it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and habit change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people improve trust, communication, and intimacy in relationships. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and purpose, guiding clients who are wrestling with life transitions or questions about identity and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and sustainable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options increase scheduling flexibility, make consistent care more accessible, and allow licensed professionals to deliver tailored interventions in ways that fit each client s routine.
