How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and testing small, practical changes to see what helps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or intense stress is present. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and practicing grounding skills that can be used between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can shift as needed.
