Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ashley often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as core methods in her work. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed actions in the face of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that limit daily functioning. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Ashley works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what is most helpful and adjust techniques over time to support progress and resilience.
Online therapy with Ashley can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue care in ways that integrate more smoothly into everyday life.
