How Ashley’s Approaches Work Online

Ashley often uses client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on the person’s goals and values. This approach means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client and the therapist helps reflect and clarify those priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for tackling low self-esteem, workplace stress, and patterns that get in the way of goals. Solution-focused techniques are added when people want quick, concrete steps to move forward and measure progress.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about what they want to accomplish, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist set short-term targets and review what works each week.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. Video is good for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can serve as a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep momentum while balancing work, parenting, and other life demands.
