Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. In practice CBT helps clients learn practical tools to manage anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful thinking so they can respond to challenges more effectively.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients’ strengths and small, actionable steps that lead toward clearer goals. This approach is goal-oriented and often works well for people seeking direction, improved relationships, or quicker momentum through life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ashley works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they experiment with methods and adjust as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to fit care around work, family, and other commitments. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue consistent work on stress, relationships, grief, or other concerns without needing to travel to an office.
