What Should a New Client Know About Working with Ashley?
When you log on for a telehealth session with Ashley, you will immediately experience a therapeutic environment defined by unconditional positive regard.
Ashley describes her style as "low key" and fueled by a healthy dose of optimism. She knows that starting therapy online can feel intimidating, so she is deeply committed to making it a safe, supportive experience. Ashley approaches her clients with the foundational belief that you are already trying your best with your current problem-solving strategies; you simply need a little guidance to find more effective ones.
Ashley's Process for Working with Clients
Ashley’s process is highly collaborative and carefully tailored to measure your actual progress.
During your telehealth psychotherapy sessions, she utilizes a powerful mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is excellent for actively measuring your progress, and Motivational Interviewing, which she finds to be a much more "people-friendly" approach. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when needed.
A typical session might address specialized areas such as anger management, bipolar disorder, or insomnia.
Ashley constantly explores new, up-to-date treatment approaches to ensure you are always receiving the most effective care possible.
