About Ava

Ava Webb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plain, patient language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. Sessions begin with listening and understanding what a person most wants to change.

From there she helps clients build coping skills and a clearer sense of self-worth. Webb uses practical strategies alongside supportive conversation.

Background and approach

She leans on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and acceptance and commitment techniques to help people move toward their values. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. Her background includes 14 years working with issues like grief, trauma and compassion fatigue.

Webb emphasizes active listening and a nonjudgmental stance so parents feel heard when discussing sensitive topics. She encourages small, intentional choices that support healing and steadier family routines. Therapy with her typically focuses on building specific skills.

Examples include managing panic or anger, improving communication, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as relationship problems, financial stress, and recovery from past abuse. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Webb holds South Carolina license SC LPC 6795 and draws on ongoing professional experience to tailor care to each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on values and take small steps toward them, even when hard feelings remain. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and situations that leave someone feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, depression, and unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and reduce distress in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on a person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be combined and changed as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people balancing multiple responsibilities. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging give shorter, more frequent check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and use skills learned in sessions in day-to-day life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
