How her approaches translate to online work
Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship stress.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and move toward change when motivation is low. These methods are practical and skills-oriented, which often fits well with brief teaching, homework, and step-by-step plans done between sessions. Ashley will work collaboratively to find which approach fits best based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of method can change over time as goals shift.
