She brings focused expertise in bereavement and end-of-life issues, supporting people through the full range of responses to loss and helping families navigate both acceptance and the feeling that a death came too soon.

Her practice emphasizes that grieving is not a linear process - reactions and stages can appear in any order and look different for each person. Ashley works with individuals and families facing grief, depression, caregiver stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, ADHD, career concerns, and life transitions. She also attends to needs related to aging and geriatric matters, hospice and end-of-life counseling, forgiveness, and life purpose.

Clinically, Ashley draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify connections among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while maintaining a warm, patient, and dialog-driven approach. Her work is guided by compassion and a focus on building resilience and practical coping skills. Seeking support takes courage, and Ashley aims to empower people as they move toward healing and renewed strength.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Ashley Goodey

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's experience guides each session - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and meeting people where they are emotionally, which can be particularly helpful for grief, family conflict, and life transitions.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients recognize and reframe unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Mindfulness therapy is another component of her work, teaching present-moment awareness and grounding strategies that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ashley collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to test what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the individual.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life or when in-person appointments are not practical. These options allow continuity of care and regular access to therapeutic tools and support from a distance.
