Remote options and therapeutic approaches
Ashelea uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and shaping the process around the clients priorities, allowing sessions to follow the clients pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and experimenting with thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and mood concerns, using practical steps and collaborative planning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often presented in a structured, skills-based format.
These approaches are used flexibly depending on what a person brings to the work. Someone who wants to explore personal values and set long-term goals may find Client-Centered work fitting, while those seeking concrete tools for anxiety or panic may engage more with CBT tasks. DBT skills can be introduced when emotion regulation or intense reactions are central concerns. Sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that suits their needs.
