How Client-Centered and Cognitive Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps create a supportive space for exploration. This approach is useful for clients seeking understanding, self-advocacy, and improved communication in relationships and family roles.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can help with anxiety, panic, mood challenges, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to ensure the best possible fit.

These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and receive consistent support from home or elsewhere, while preserving the therapeutic focus and collaborative process.
