How Ashley blends approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy centers the person's priorities and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead to build on strengths and set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical techniques to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication problems keep repeating. Ashley combines these approaches to match the client’s goals and the issues they bring, discussing options together and adjusting the plan as needed.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they work, and shifting course when something isn’t helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone requires less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text supports brief check-ins or ongoing written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional.
