About
Ashley McGarity is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who brings five years of clinical experience supporting adults facing attention-related difficulties, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She works with people who experience symptoms commonly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - including inattentiveness, trouble focusing, challenges with emotional regulation, and anxiety tied to ADHD.
She also specializes in anxiety disorders and combines cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills to help clients manage everyday stresses and emotional ups and downs. Ashley incorporates existential exploration to help individuals clarify their values, sense of purpose, and goals as they work toward becoming the best versions of themselves.
In relationship work, Ashley focuses on developing healthy, assertive communication, establishing and maintaining boundaries, identifying personal needs within partnerships, and addressing attachment-related concerns. She values each client’s capacity to advocate for themselves and celebrates individuality, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
Ashley collaborates with clients to build tailored habits, strategies, and skills that fit their unique needs and interests, and she has helped many people gain clearer self-understanding and greater confidence in how they relate to others. By examining how past experiences influence present patterns and learning tools to challenge irrational beliefs and maladaptive thoughts, clients can move toward a more authentic, self-directed life.
Ashley McGarity is credentialed as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida (LMHC, license MH20539) and is based in Florida. She welcomes those ready to take the next step toward authenticity and self-compassion to reach out and begin the process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy is considered similarly effective to traditional in-person care for most issues.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides - clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate support into a busy schedule.
All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and if a particular therapeutic fit isn’t right, clients generally have the option to switch providers. For many people, virtual therapy offers a practical, accessible way to pursue mental health goals and address everyday challenges.
