How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments and stepwise behavior change to reduce anxiety or lift mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action despite difficult feelings. ACT can help with parenting stress, low motivation, and dealing with difficult emotions. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work as well and emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to build understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process is flexible and can change as needs evolve.
