Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Ashley draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-driven action to build a more meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of the work and the therapist reflects and supports their self-exploration - a helpful fit for those seeking validation and improved self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequently used approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them, often supporting progress with mood disorders, anxiety, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley will collaborate with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions and exchanges can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage ongoing commitments, and maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
