How these approaches work in online sessions
Ashley commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s needs and goals. This approach involves active listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you steer sessions toward what matters most to you. It is useful when you want a therapist who follows your pace and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In CBT she offers clear tools and exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. These tools translate well to remote sessions because they rely on repeated practice and review.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will discuss options with clients, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. Together you’ll test what helps most and refine the plan as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messages are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy lives.
