Approaches that guide online sessions
Ashley uses Client-Centered Therapy to put the person’s experience first. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people discover their own solutions. It works well for building trust and clarifying goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT skills are part of her toolkit for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will discuss different options and tailor methods to the person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which tools to try and how to adapt them to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging offer shorter check-ins and the chance to share thoughts without being on camera. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
