More about Ashley

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and Florida, I focus my practice on use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, family systems modalities, and use of motivational interviewing. I help clients reach effective solutions to their varied challenges. I believe that each individual has the ability to overcome struggles and to learn ways to self-heal. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of disorders and concerns including; PTSD/trauma, abuse and neglect, anger, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, parenting problems, and adjustment issues. I help to empower clients and to guide them to self-discovery, improve emotional regulation, develop healthy coping and problem-solving skills, and to learn skills to help yourself. It takes courage to ask for help and support and I applaud you for doing so. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
