About Ashley

Ashley Sorenson is a licensed social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and a broad range of life challenges including relationship issues, grief, addiction, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work also extends to concerns like self-esteem, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, and issues around identity and non-traditional relationships. Ashley emphasizes a collaborative stance that treats each person as the expert in their own life, building on existing strengths to address obstacles and pursue meaningful change.

She frames seeking help as a courageous step toward greater fulfillment and offers steady support as clients explore coping strategies, emotional processing, and pragmatic problem solving. Her practice is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a client-centered perspective aimed at practical, sustainable progress.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Support



Ashley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for managing anxiety and mood symptoms, teaching clients tools for emotion regulation, stress reduction, and improved sleep routines. Another approach centers on exploring personal values and strengthening relationships through communication work and processing difficult feelings, which can help with grief, identity questions, and relational concerns. Both approaches aim to combine real-world strategies with deeper self-exploration to promote steady progress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Ashley partners with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapts techniques over time to suit changing needs and circumstances. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work stays relevant and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
