Background and approach
Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and dealing with distress.
Mindfulness and client-centered techniques help people become more aware and feel heard. With 13 years of experience, Ashley aims for a calm, respectful pace. She listens first, then tailors tools to each person’s needs.
Sessions can include goal-setting, skill practice, and brief coaching for specific problems. Clients can expect clear language and practical takeaways each week. Ashley emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.
Her approach is goal-focused but flexible, adapting as priorities change.
Practical approaches for online care
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns. CBT breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches steps to change reactions that keep problems going.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills. DBT is useful when strong emotions or frequent overwhelm make daily functioning harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets you work face-to-face from anywhere with decent bandwidth. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter spot is easier or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework help, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make regular work on goals fit into a busy life.
