About Ashley
Ashley Hackett is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who helps people address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and career issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also works with related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems, control issues, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, and self-harm. With 18 years of experience, she brings sustained clinical practice to each client's unique situation.
Her approach centers on collaboration and respect for each person's perspective, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy as well as client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy tools to help clients build skills and reframe unhelpful patterns. Narrative and solution-focused techniques inform shorter-term goal work and help clients identify strengths and new possibilities.
Ashley frames change as a process that involves the client's expertise about their own life and her role as a supportive professional guide. Clients can expect a pragmatic, empathetic style that balances skill-building with exploration of meaning and values.
She emphasizes empowerment and practical steps toward improved coping and healthier relationships while tailoring interventions to the needs and goals presented in therapy.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, mood swings, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a space where the client’s perspective and strengths guide the pace and focus of sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful, combining methods when appropriate to match needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for working with these approaches. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions provide an accessible option when video is not practical, and live chat or text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins or skills practice between sessions. These flexible formats can make it easier to attend sessions consistently and apply therapeutic tools in day-to-day life while coordinating around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
