Online support
Approaches and what online work looks like
Ashley uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what the client finds most important; it helps people feel heard and build trust in their own choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions.She also brings in solution-focused and mindfulness elements when helpful. Solution-focused techniques help you set small, measurable goals and track progress. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings so they have less control over actions. Together these methods are chosen with the client rather than imposed by the therapist - finding the right mix is part of the work you do together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and working through skills, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can help keep momentum between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
