About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Mitich is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people find what works in day-to-day life. She centers conversations on each person’s story and strengths. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
People often come for help with relationship strain, sleep trouble, career questions, or big life changes.
Background and approach
Dr. Mitich uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how close relationships affect emotions and behavior. She draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication patterns and reduce reactive cycles.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult problems and rewrite parts of their story. Her work includes attention to family roles, blended family adjustments, fatherhood issues, and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, chronic illness, and complicated intimacy or kink-related questions.
Practical coping tools and clearer communication are common goals. Sessions may include problem-solving, role-play, and revisiting the stories people tell about themselves. The focus is on usable strategies you can try between sessions.
The aim is steady progress rather than overnight fixes.

How attachment and narrative ideas work online
Dr. Mitich draws on attachment-informed work to map how relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice reactions and try new ways of relating. The Gottman Method is used to teach clearer communication and reduce recurring arguments through practical exercises. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from painful stories and try different perspectives to change how they respond.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. She will listen to your goals and suggest what to try first, then adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to decide whether attachment techniques, Gottman communication practice, narrative reframing, or a mix is best for the situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you practice communication and see nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging make it simple to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
