About Ashley Couch
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and mindfulness coach who helps clients move toward greater authenticity and resilience. With over 15 years of experience working with youth and adults across school, community, and in-home settings, she has spent the past 7 years providing clinical therapy services both in person and virtually. Her background blends clinical training with a focus on mindfulness and strength-based care to support meaningful, lasting change.
She works with individuals of all ages facing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, divorce and separation, neurodivergence, and eating disorders. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which she tailors to each client's needs.
Using a strength-based approach, she encourages clients to practice courage and vulnerability as steps toward self-acceptance and growth. She is a strong proponent of radical self-love and emphasizes the connection between mind, body, and soul as part of the therapeutic journey. She treats all clients with respect, empathy, and compassion, and collaborates to design a dialog and treatment plan that fit each person's unique situation.
Please note that she is only able to offer live chat sessions at this time. She prefers to schedule directly with clients because her availability varies by day, and she is available Monday-Thursday from 9am to 8pm to find a time that works for both parties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful change. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions by focusing on committed action rather than symptom elimination alone.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for mood disorders, anxiety, and many stress-related concerns because it emphasizes practical skills and measurable progress.
Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them access their own strengths. This approach is valuable for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and strengthening the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, client-centered support from a distance.
