Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills like thought reframing and behavioral activation that can be used in everyday life.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients’ strengths and immediate goals, helping them build self-efficacy and clearer direction through brief, goal-oriented work. This approach is useful for people seeking concrete steps to improve relationships, parenting, or life transitions.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley Whitley works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from these approaches to find the best fit for each person.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage ongoing needs, and access support from different locations.
