Background and approach

Ashley uses short-term steps and longer plans so progress feels real and manageable. Ashley works at a pace chosen with each person.

She listens for what matters most and builds a plan that fits daily life. Sessions focus on skills you can use right away, like managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with grief or loss.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah and undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. She holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and has five years of experience doing mental health work and coaching.

Ashley draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior tools, client-centered work, EMDR, and the Gottman Method. These are used to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship challenges, depression, addiction concerns, and self-esteem problems.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Ashley aims to hand over tools so the change continues after therapy ends.

She also balances short-term coaching goals with deeper emotional work when needed. She lives in Utah with her three children and brings a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions.

People who want clear steps, a respectful listener, and a straightforward plan may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and understanding patterns in relationships and can help people change how they handle conflict and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they’ll pick strategies and adjust them over time so therapy fits the person’s life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick coping support, brief coaching, or when writing feels more natural. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
