About Ashna

Ashna Wallace is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, work pressures, and issues tied to relationships and intimacy. She speaks English and draws on practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and overwhelming days.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She listens first, then helps identify small, concrete steps a person can try. Sessions often center on finding a clearer direction and building skills to set boundaries, manage anger, or improve self-worth.

Background and approach

The aim is to help clients feel more able to handle daily demands and life changes. Ashna uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. She also brings mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to calm intense feelings in the moment.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find realistic goals and take action toward them. People come to her with a range of concerns including family difficulties, communication problems, control issues, jealousy, workplace stress, panic attacks, self-harm, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also works with issues like self-love, seasonal affective disorder, young adult challenges, and women’s concerns.

Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and scheduling and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives people space to describe what matters most and helps therapists tailor support to each person’s pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face while phone, live chat, or text messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to use video. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of travel or local constraints.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
