Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it in daily life, and trying new ways of responding to stress or anxiety.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. This approach asks what is already working, builds on strengths, and creates short-term plans to create momentum.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ashley works with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan so the work fits each person's life and pace.
Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for frequent, brief exchanges and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy going when life is busy or plans change.
