How Ashley works
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and urges.

That might mean practicing breathing and mindfulness, trying a different way to talk to yourself, or planning small steps toward a career or parenting goal.
Ashley keeps language plain and concrete so change feels manageable. Her methods suit people working through depression, panic, ADHD-related struggles, or the aftermath of separation and loss. She also supports those facing substance use concerns, body image distress, or feelings of isolation and shame.
The emphasis is on realistic steps and steady progress. Ashley has 13 years of clinical experience and holds the New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She offers care in English via a mix of live and text-based formats.

How Ashley’s Approaches Work Online
Ashley commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach concrete techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can be useful for people who have intense reactions or struggle to manage urges and strong feelings. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins and ongoing coaching, and text can fit brief reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
