How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ashley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current behavior and feelings; this approach helps when trust, closeness, or repeated patterns cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She listens to what feels useful and adjusts plans as progress or new concerns appear.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, and it can reduce travel and scheduling barriers. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Talk with Ashley about practical needs and preferences so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
