Approaches that guide online sessions

Ashly often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, validating a person’s experience, and following their goals. This approach helps clarify what a person wants to change and supports them at their own pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT helps with anxiety, anger, and depression by teaching concrete tools for shifting unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help people notice their body and breath, reduce reactivity, and practice calmer responses to stress and strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ashly collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts strategies if something isn’t working.
