How Ashley works
Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable and to build skills that people can use between meetings. She uses clear language and direct strategies rather than jargon. Dr.
Schneider draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing when fitting a plan to someone's goals. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, while keeping the person's values in view. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, hoarding, impulsivity, and substance issues. She also supports young adult issues, infidelity recovery, and coping after major life transitions. The focus is on realistic steps and steady progress.
Dr. Schneider emphasizes respect and compassion in every session. She encourages honest talk about what’s working and what isn’t, and adjusts the plan as needed.
Her goal is to help people feel more capable and to move toward a more satisfying life.

How client-centered and behavioral approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify values and goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs a safe space to talk and to feel heard.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. In sessions the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and coping with life changes.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. The therapist asks questions that explore ambivalence and support the person in finding their reasons for change. It pairs well with CBT when motivation and concrete skills are both needed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
