Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Ashley draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore their values and strengths while setting personal goals. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and trust in the therapeutic relationship.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it offers practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can support people dealing with anxiety, stress, and difficulty managing strong emotions.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, making adjustments as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy around work, family responsibilities, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life.
