Ashley Whitman

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathic relationship where the client’s goals and values guide the pace and focus of work; it is useful for people seeking acceptance, greater self-understanding, and a supportive space to explore emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily functioning concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, providing practical ways to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Ashley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, adjusting techniques as clients develop new skills and priorities.

Online therapy with Ashley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increases scheduling flexibility and access for people with busy lives or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access evening appointments when available, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
