Online support options
CBT and Motivational Interviewing for online care
Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change habits that feed depression or addiction.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are feeling unsure about change. This approach uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and set achievable goals, which can be especially useful for drug and alcohol addiction or when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will partner with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing CBT tools with motivational strategies when that fits best.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls work well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing connection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum toward personal goals.
