Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and commit to actions that align with those values. It emphasizes acceptance of difficult feelings while building psychological flexibility to move toward meaningful goals, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early bonding patterns to understand how past connections influence present feelings and behavior. It can help clients address attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care experiences.
Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of care, prioritizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients set the pace and direction of their work. This approach supports empowerment, self-discovery, and practical problem solving across a variety of concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ashley collaborates with each person to identify methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting over time as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and can make consistent care more manageable for busy lives.
