About Ashley
Ashley Couch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings seven years of clinical therapy experience and a longer history supporting young people and adults in schools, community programs, and home settings. Ashley focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and other life changes.
Ashley uses straightforward, person-centered care. She emphasizes strengths and encourages small, practical steps toward change. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and emotions so clients can learn new ways to respond under pressure.
Background and approach
She also brings mindfulness practices into her work to help clients calm and focus. Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills with acceptance-based ideas. That helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Ashley has worked with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating issues, parenting stress, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and LGBT-related matters. She mentions a special interest in adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in several formats. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits both parties.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed during sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that match the client's goals, needs, and communication style. Over time they adjust methods based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework feedback, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people use therapy around work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
