About Ashley
Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate grief, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes and listens with calm patience and works to meet people where they are. Ashley aims to make first steps feel manageable when things feel overwhelming.
Ashley draws on eleven years of experience supporting people through loss, caregiver strain, relationship difficulty, and the challenges of aging. She believes grief does not follow a set path and helps people recognize their own process without judgment.
Background and approach
Her approach focuses on practical ways to cope day to day while honoring what feels important to each person. In sessions she uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in a person’s values and goals.
Mindfulness and narrative tools are added when helpful to slow down, name experiences, and reframe painful stories. Ashley supports people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and forgiveness work alongside more common issues such as depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with people facing career crossroads and questions of life purpose.
Her practice is based in California and she offers a mix of conversation and skills-focused work. Ashley aims to help people build strength and practical coping, so they can move forward with more clarity and less overwhelm.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Ashley uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following each person’s pace and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their goals and values.She also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on way to identify patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, grief reactions, and managing caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, and she adjusts over time based on needs and progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing new skills, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try different formats as needs change.
