Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful behaviors rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT provides practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and relationship difficulties by teaching strategies like cognitive restructuring and behavior activation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools that can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and adjusts them over time so therapy fits the client rather than forcing the client to fit a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and can help clients maintain continuity of care while working toward their goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
