Approaches and Online Care for Lasting Change
Ashley commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another approach she draws on to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills - tools that can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors. Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolbox; this collaborative conversational style helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the individual’s life and priorities.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other demands. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and allow for a variety of communication styles so therapy can fit into different schedules and comfort levels.
