She helps people develop coping skills for anger that reduce escalation and improve how they handle conflict at work or home. Sessions include practical tools, role-play, and steps clients can try between meetings.

How Ashley uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thinking that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in small experiments, and practicing new behaviors to see what changes.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. This approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation in a collaborative way rather than pushing a single solution.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try approaches that fit those aims. She checks in and adjusts plans based on what actually helps the client during and between sessions.
