About Ashley

She uses a straightforward Cognitive Behavioral approach to help people reduce anxiety, manage anger, and cope with grief and life changes. Her style is warm and approachable, and she aims to make therapy understandable and practical for daily life.
She focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice alternatives that feel truer and more useful.
Background and approach
That work can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and improve relationships and self-esteem. Ashley has long experience supporting people through loss, chronic illness, and care-related stress. She also helps with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and parenting topics by teaching practical skills for communication and emotional regulation.
Anger and addiction concerns are approached through concrete tools and skill-building. Her practice includes helping people facing major life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or aging-related adjustments. She also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness work, and feelings of guilt or shame in simple, step-by-step ways.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear explanations, homework when helpful, and a mix of problem-solving and emotional support. Ashley works with English-speaking clients in Florida and accepts international clients for online care.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Ashley practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and practicing specific alternatives to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger.That focus on skills and small behavior changes fits well with online work. When goals and exercises are clear, sessions can include review of homework, role plays, and short skill-building practices over video, phone, or text. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which methods suit the person's needs and schedule.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone needs a shorter way to process feelings between sessions.
Ashley helps clients choose the best mix of formats based on goals, daily routines, and comfort with each option, so therapy fits into real life while focusing on measurable progress.
