About Ashley
Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, caregiving strain, relationship strain, and issues like depression or ADHD. Her approach is calm and patient and she aims to meet people where they are in their healing process.
Ashley uses practical talk and skills during sessions. She helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and then tries small changes that can ease daily life.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness to help people stay present during difficult moments and narrative approaches to make sense of painful experiences. Her background includes 11 years of experience working with grief and loss, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress. That experience guides how she supports people who are navigating bereavement, forgiveness, and life purpose questions.
She describes grief as a non-linear process and normalizes varied reactions to loss. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Ashley focuses on clear goals such as reducing intense reactions, rebuilding routine, improving communication, or developing coping tools.
She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing to encourage small, achievable steps. People who choose her often want steady support while facing big changes. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people feel understood so they can talk about hard topics like grief or anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT sessions break those links into small steps, teaching practical tools to lower anxiety, reduce angry reactions, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to stay present instead of getting swept up by intense emotions. Short mindfulness exercises can be used between sessions to calm the body and refocus during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during the day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or use shorter touchpoints when needed.
