About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Mitich is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related issues.
Dr. Mitich frames clients as experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens to the story someone brings and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. She avoids jargon and focuses on clear, practical steps that can be used between appointments.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and connection in close relationships. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems and re-author the parts of life that feel stuck.
Over 14 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting and blended-family stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and issues around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures. She offers help for people coping with major life disruptions such as divorce, illness, or disaster-related stress.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Illinois. Dr. Mitich describes the first steps as small and practical - a questionnaire and a first meeting to establish goals. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
How attachment, Gottman work, and narrative ideas translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape how someone relates now. Online sessions can help people notice triggers and practice different responses with real examples from daily life.The Gottman Method focuses on clear communication skills and rebuilding connection in close relationships. In online conversations this can mean role-playing difficult talks, learning specific techniques, and setting small communication experiments to try between meetings.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem and rewrite parts of their story. It often uses straightforward questions and reflective exercises that transfer well to a virtual meeting and to written follow-ups.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it easier to bring real examples from home or work into the conversation so skills can be practiced where they matter most.
