Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings to ease stress and manage strong emotions. Her approach blends several methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotional balance. Mindfulness techniques are used for grounding and reducing reactivity during upsetting moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, can be offered for memories that continue to cause distress.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work focused on each person's priorities and pace. Ashley has supported people through life transitions, parenting stresses, chronic health challenges, grief, and concerns about self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and caregiving strain.
Her style is collaborative and practical, aimed at helping people build tools they can use day to day.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Ashley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach often focuses on small experiments and practical homework to reduce symptoms like anger or depression.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for clients who struggle with intense emotions or impulsive reactions. DBT provides clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves most useful in day-to-day life.
Online therapy with her is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady progress.
