About Ashley
Ashley McCormick North is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Her manner is warm and approachable and she aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation rather than a lecture.
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test assumptions, and try different responses.
How Ashley works
That practical focus is useful for challenges like panic, low mood, and anger. She also supports people facing life transitions such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, cancer, divorce, or career changes. Ashley addresses intimacy-related struggles, addictions, and self-esteem work by combining concrete skills with emotional processing.
She helps clients untangle family-of-origin issues and work through guilt, shame, or forgiveness challenges. For grief and end-of-life related concerns she offers steady guidance and tools to manage painful moments. She works with people coping with bipolar mood patterns by teaching behavioral strategies alongside mood awareness.
Throughout, her goal is to help clients move toward more joy and freedom in everyday life. Ashley offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her approach is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and then helps people try practical steps that fit their life and goals.

Online support options
Cognitive Behavioral Tools for Online Care
Ashley primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people notice patterns in thoughts that lead to distress. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so clients can test new ways of thinking and behaving, and it suits anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.The selection of an approach is collaborative. Ashley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions, share quick updates, or use brief exercises during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
