About Ashley

Dr. Ashley Mitich brings a straightforward, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor - LCPC - with 14 years of experience.

She talks plainly about stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns so people can understand next steps. Her style is practical and supportive for someone who is worried and needs clear help. She believes that each person knows their own story best and that therapy builds on existing strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and daily life. She uses tools from attachment-based work, narrative ideas, and relationship-focused methods to help people notice what matters and try new ways of responding. In practice she helps people with common but heavy problems: managing anxiety, coping with life changes, grief, and intimacy or relationship concerns.

She also addresses stress around work and caregiving, sleep difficulties, and issues connected to family and parenting. Her approach is conversational and goal-oriented. She will listen first, then suggest steps you can try between sessions.

Homework is simple and tied to real-life situations so progress can be measured and adjusted. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Practical matters like cost and scheduling depend on location and use a cancel-anytime subscription model.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape safety and trust. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try different ways of connecting with partners or family members in day-to-day life.

The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and managing conflict. Through video work and between-session exercises, clients can practice new conversation skills and small behavior changes that strengthen relationships.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling and reframing their stories. In online work this often looks like talking through events, identifying recurring themes, and testing new interpretations between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as work progresses and practical changes are tested.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around work, childcare, and other obligations, and allow therapists to use screen-sharing, written exercises, and short messaging to reinforce skills between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
