About Myhosi
Myhosi "Josie" Ashton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and bipolar challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on seven years of experience as a therapist to offer steady, practical support. Josie aims to make conversations clear and approachable for worried parents seeking help.
She focuses on helping people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning emotional regulation skills and practicing new ways to respond to difficult situations. Josie uses plain language and gentle questioning to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. Her background includes work in community mental health and victim advocacy settings, and she has supported people through grief, life transitions, and relationship wounds.
That experience informs a trauma-aware way of working that pays attention to safety and pacing. Josie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness and narrative approaches. She emphasizes strengths and practical tools over jargon, helping people build boundaries, repair trust, and reconnect with purpose.
Therapy sessions can address forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and questions about life purpose. The overall goal is steady progress: clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning for parents juggling the demands of family life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for parents
Evidence-based methods Josie commonly uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Trauma-focused techniques help people process painful events at a comfortable pace and learn ways to regulate intense emotions. Mindfulness practices and narrative approaches are also used to increase present-moment awareness and help clients reframe personal stories that fuel shame or guilt.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Josie works with each person to match techniques to their goals and comfort level, adjusting over time if something isn’t helping. The aim is to find manageable tools that fit a parent's daily life and values rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels too much. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, emotional processing between sessions, or step-by-step coaching in moments of stress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and maintain steady progress.
