How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Ashley often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. This method helps people feel heard and clarifies their priorities during remote sessions.She also uses solution-focused therapy to set short-term goals and identify small, concrete changes that can reduce stress and improve parenting or daily functioning. Narrative therapy is used to examine the stories people carry and to consider different, more useful ways of understanding their experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will discuss options with the client and pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. This decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
