Ashley Crockham

Ashley Crockham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who creates a calm, respectful space for people to talk through hard moments. She focuses on practical steps that help with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. She aims to help people feel understood and to identify strengths they can use right away.

Before earning her LCSW, she spent six years working in social work roles that included domestic violence and child protective services. She has four years of experience as a social worker overall. That background informs how she supports people dealing with parenting challenges, school concerns, mood disorders, and life transitions.

Her sessions begin with a clear plan. In the first visits she explores what brought the person to therapy, reviews history, and sets realistic goals. Progress is checked regularly and goals are adjusted as needed so work stays focused and practical.

Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based approaches, and grief work. These methods are used to help people understand thoughts and emotions, improve coping skills, and solve immediate problems.

People who meet with her can expect a nonjudgmental tone and collaborative approach. Sessions emphasize learning tools for everyday life, building resilience, and creating steps toward healthier behavior and stronger emotional balance.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Ashley lists several evidence-based techniques she uses, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and what is already working to move people toward their goals more quickly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. That way the plan stays practical and aligned with what matters most to the individual.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, let people check in from different locations, and allow for shorter or more frequent meetings when that helps progress. Many find that remote sessions allow for regular follow-up and steady skill-building without long travel, which can help keep momentum between sessions.
