About Ashley
Ashley Davis is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, and other life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, and mood disorders.
Before private practice she worked in a residential treatment setting and later ran her own practice for several years. That background gave her a lot of hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns and with people who need practical strategies for daily life.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She asks clients to take an active role in planning goals and checks progress against those goals. Sessions combine listening with concrete steps clients can try between appointments.
Ashley often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person's priorities. EMDR and mindfulness are tools she may use when they fit the client's needs.
People who come because they lose their temper with loved ones, have build-up of resentment, or feel overwhelmed by workplace frustration will find practical coping ideas here. She helps clients recognize triggers, practice alternative responses, and build daily routines that reduce stress. Progress is tracked through clear goals so clients can see what changes are working.
Sessions reflect the realities of parenting, work, and caregiving. Ashley encourages realistic, step-by-step adjustments that can be used between appointments. She supports people who want to lower reactivity and handle anger with more control and clarity.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and lets the client guide what gets worked on. It involves active listening and reflecting so the person’s own goals shape the plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It includes simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and small behavioral experiments to change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving toleration of distress, and handling difficult interactions with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review the client’s goals and symptoms and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked and needs evolve.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on days when a full session feels like too much. They also let people try techniques in their everyday settings and bring real-life examples into the session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to video or phone formats, and client-centered work translates well to online conversations. If EMDR is being considered, discuss how that format will be arranged when you schedule.
