More about Ashley
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania, providing direct service to clients for over 9 years. I began my career counseling individuals who have committed sexual offenses as well as survivors of sexual abuse, and working with individuals who have experienced various traumas continues to be the majority of my practice. I also work with clients to process guilt and shame, improve self-esteem and self-concept, improve communication skills, and build healthy boundaries in relationships.
Building a trusting relationship with a therapist can be so difficult, and not every therapist is the best fit for every client. My core values of honesty, integrity, and authenticity are integral to my approach as a therapist. Clients appreciate I am able to be myself in session and communicate assertively, even when the message I'm delivering is difficult to hear.
I primarily use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other similar approaches in session, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), as well as others to fit the needs of the client.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
