About Ashley

Ashley Couch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings seven years of clinical therapy experience and a longer history working with youth and adults. She offers a direct, compassionate approach and emphasizes radical self-love as part of healing. Ashley focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more like themselves again.

Ashley helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, addiction, body image and eating concerns, parenting challenges, and neurodivergence. Her work includes attention to attachment, adoption and foster care topics, and caregiving stress.

Her style blends evidence-informed tools with a strength-based attitude. Sessions include skill-building, mindfulness practices, and therapy tailored to each person’s needs. She encourages small, manageable changes and honest conversations about values and goals.

Ashley draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses these approaches to help people manage thoughts and emotions, improve relationships, and build coping skills for everyday life.

She practices in Florida and works in English. Sessions are arranged through the Start Therapy process, which includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on her availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Ashley applies common approaches online

Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching coping skills.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. ACT can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when someone needs tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills support steadier responses during intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley treats picking methods as a collaborative process and will help identify which techniques match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made and priorities change.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as session formats should be verified with the therapist. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and by letting sessions fit into a break at work or between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better.
