Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care for Trauma and Family Challenges
Ashley commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s priorities guide the process - it is useful for exploring identity, interpersonal concerns, and healing from past wounds. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often applied to symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive behaviors to develop concrete coping strategies.
She also draws on mindfulness-based techniques to help clients notice physical and emotional states with greater clarity and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and anger management. Choosing the right approach is part of a collaborative process - Ashley works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time to find what fits best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate work, school, caregiving, and other life demands. These options make ongoing care more accessible and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum through life transitions and scheduling challenges.
