About Ashley
Ashley Spitzer brings two decades of clinical social work experience to clients seeking support for stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other concerns.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as the client's time to vent, process, and clarify needs and goals, inviting honest conversation and questions rather than guarded interaction. Her approach is warm and laidback while remaining focused on immediate symptoms and practical steps that promote daily functioning and wellbeing.
She relies on a client-centered stance, combining evidence-based methods to match interventions to each person’s preferences and comfort level. Ashley emphasizes consistency, empathy, and boundary-setting as foundations for growth, and she adapts techniques creatively while welcoming client feedback to refine treatment.
Licensed in Ohio as an LISW, she has worked with adolescents and adults and offers individual and family therapy as part of her practice. People who value a collaborative, straightforward therapist who helps them identify actionable goals may find her style particularly accessible.
Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with personal values to build a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and practicing skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in close relationships, useful for intimacy and relational difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Clients can expect adjustments over time as progress and preferences become clearer, with an emphasis on feedback and practical application.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives or across distances. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, access licensed professionals from Ohio and beyond, and continue work between meetings through written communication or brief check-ins.
