Background and approach
She has worked with adolescents, teens, people early in recovery from substance use, and people experiencing homelessness. In therapy she helps with relationship and parenting issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports families around pregnancy and childbirth, attachment concerns, and young adult transitions.
Ashley uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also draws on attachment theory, Acceptance and Commitment approaches, and family therapy principles. Sessions focus on skills, communication strategies, and small steps that fit family life.
Parents can expect a collaborative approach that balances problem-solving with empathy. Ashley aims to create clearer family routines, safer communication, and better ways to manage big emotions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.
Practical approaches for online family therapy
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help families spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to conflict. This approach breaks problems into clear steps and teaches concrete skills for handling stress and big emotions.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can be useful for parents managing anger and for teens learning to cope with intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each family to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they set small, achievable steps and adjust the plan as things change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face work on interactions and role-play. Phone sessions and live chat provide shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging makes follow-up and quick questions easier between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into school, work, and parenting schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and real-life change.
