Ashley Freece, LPC

Approaches that guide online work and practical sessions

Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills people can use right away. One common approach she emphasizes is skills-based coping training, which teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood changes, and stress. These skills can include breathing and grounding exercises, activity planning, and stepwise problem solving. She also draws on approaches that improve communication and relationship functioning by teaching ways to express needs, set boundaries, and respond to conflict more constructively. That work can help with intimacy-related concerns and parenting stress by making everyday interactions clearer and less reactive. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor techniques to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are collaborative and may shift as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief support between sessions, or when writing about feelings is easier. These formats give flexibility to work on skills and track progress without rearranging a full day.
