That includes Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

Ashley describes herself as a wife and mother, and that lived experience shapes her perspective on family and community stress. She invites people to break down barriers and work toward greater peace, joy, and fulfillment in everyday life.
How Ashley’s methods translate to online work
Ashley uses Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and following what matters to you. ACT helps people name their values and take actions that match those values, even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ashley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together she and the client will adjust methods over time, mixing listening, skills practice, and value-driven actions to find what works.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions often include fitting appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, focus on skill practice without a long commute, or have shorter sessions when that suits your schedule. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your life.
