Online support

EMDR, CBT, and Attachment Work Online

Ashley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses, which can help with attachment issues, parenting stress, and self-esteem. EMDR is included as a method she uses to help people process distressing memories when that fits a person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper, interactive work while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, more frequent touchpoints without needing to be on camera.
