Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Ashley directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
People can benefit from Narrative Therapy by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work helps separate a person from a problem and find new meanings for old struggles, which can help with issues like grief, identity, or recurring relationship patterns.Attachment-Based ideas focus on how relationships shape expectations and behavior. This approach helps people notice how early patterns influence current reactions and supports building different, more helpful ways of relating when stress or conflict appears.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test beliefs and change small habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions start with listening and then try approaches together, adjusting as needed based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for short check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing prompts or reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, handle quick concerns between sessions, and pick the method that feels most comfortable for each person.
