Ashley Whitman

Ashley Whitman is a licensed social worker who helps people facing strong emotions and life changes. She is an LMSW and a LISW with ten years of clinical experience. Many people come to her for anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction-related struggles.

Ashley keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and helps people name their feelings and patterns. She uses practical tools so clients can try small changes between sessions.

Her work often centers on relationships, self-esteem, and healing after trauma. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, work stress, and chronic health challenges. Clients looking to manage impulsive reactions or improve communication find concrete strategies here.

Ashley draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce reactivity and build moment-to-moment awareness.

Session options include limited evening video and phone times and some text-based sessions, with most evening availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to message about availability and to confirm current session formats before scheduling.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to make sure conversations follow what matters most to each person. That means the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set their own goals, especially when dealing with anger, relationship stress, or life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers clear steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with the client to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts tools as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Her listing notes limited evening video and phone times plus some expanded text sessions. Because formats can change, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or work breaks, allow quick check-ins via text when offered, and reduce travel time so clients can use therapy time for problem solving rather than commuting.
