How Ashley works
Ashley works with clients on both immediate coping and longer-term change. Ashley uses approaches that help people understand their attachment patterns, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and build mindful habits. She draws on narrative work to help clients reshape difficult stories from their past.
Motivational interviewing is used to support realistic goal setting and small steps forward. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Ashley treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
She focuses on clear, manageable strategies that can be tried between sessions. Her practice includes a mix of conversational therapy, practical skill-building, and reflective exercises. People who want a therapist who listens, offers concrete tools, and partners in goal-setting may find this approach helpful.

Online support options
How Ashley’s approaches translate to online therapy
Ashley often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help when family dynamics, abandonment, or attachment issues cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and problematic eating patterns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Ashley will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Together they set small goals and adjust strategies when something does not feel helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and eye contact, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or busy schedules.
