About Ashley McGarity
Ashley McGarity is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor) who focuses on helping adults navigate attention challenges, emotional regulation, and anxiety that can accompany ADHD. She brings practical strategies to difficulties with focus and inattentiveness while addressing the emotional fallout that often follows sustained stress and overwhelm.
Ashley specializes in anxiety disorders and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with DBT skill sets to build actionable coping tools. She also uses existential exploration to help clients clarify their values and sense of purpose, supporting work toward meaningful change rather than quick fixes.
Relationship work is a central part of her practice, with an emphasis on healthy communication, boundary setting, and identifying personal needs within partnerships and family systems. Attachment-related concerns receive careful attention as she helps clients understand patterns that shape how they connect with others.
Ashley emphasizes individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all model. She collaborates with each person to develop habits, strategies, and skills tailored to their unique strengths and goals. By examining how past experiences influence present thinking and behavior and by addressing irrational beliefs and maladaptive thought patterns, she supports clients in building greater self-understanding, confidence, and authenticity.
Her approach centers on empowerment and growth, guiding people who want to explore self-acceptance, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of identity.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Ashley combines evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and life concerns in a practical, accessible way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so they can respond to stress and anxiety more effectively. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating developed over time and supports healthier connections by exploring how early relationships influence current emotions and interactions. Existential Therapy invites clients to consider questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility, which can be helpful for those wrestling with purpose, life transitions, or a desire to live more authentically.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively with each person and considers their needs, goals, and preferences when selecting techniques. Licensed professionals and therapists use this kind of shared decision making to tailor treatment rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around schedules and geographic limits. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, respond to immediate challenges, and integrate therapeutic skills into daily life while working with a therapist who helps guide the process.
