Online therapeutic approaches and support

Ashley Simmers integrates Client-Centered Therapy in her online work, focusing on listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s perspective so clients feel understood while exploring their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a way to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with symptoms like panic, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ashley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt strategies over time to find what produces meaningful progress for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue work during transitions. These formats support consistent contact and make it possible to use the same therapeutic tools and exercises remotely that would be used in person.
