Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Ashley offers remote sessions that combine structured tools and relational work. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy she helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and supports the development of practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Sessions using CBT tend to focus on clear goals, experiments between meetings, and step-by-step skill building.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy are also part of her approach. Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to patterns in relationships and emotional bonds, helping people name and shift interaction cycles. Mindfulness Therapy introduces awareness practices that make it easier to notice internal experience and respond with intention. Ashley frames therapy as a collaborative process: she and the person seeking support work together to choose which approaches fit their goals and life circumstances.
Remote work is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how meetings and between-session contact take place.
