Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating to others. It helps clients explore attachment styles, improve relationship skills, and address issues like trust, intimacy, and attachment-related anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with healthier alternatives - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, often used for processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Ashley collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make regular care more accessible for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, while still allowing therapists to deliver consistent, goal-focused support.
