Background and approach

Ashley brings attention to a range of complex challenges including trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, tailoring care to each person's situation.

Clients who are ready to explore change will find a steady, supportive clinician who emphasizes understanding and measurable progress.

Online approaches that support practical change



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and learn skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward goals. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges that involve avoidance of uncomfortable internal experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is often applied to anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and mood concerns, and it emphasizes concrete strategies and skill building.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which approaches fit best given presenting concerns, personal preferences, and desired outcomes, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to access therapy from wherever they are in Minnesota.
