About Ashley
Ashley Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, substance issues, compassion fatigue, and relationship and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment concerns, chronic illness, and major life changes.
She has worked in child welfare, foster care and adoption settings, substance abuse treatment, cancer and chronic illness care, and in the prison system. That range gives her day-to-day familiarity with trauma and secondary trauma, and with the practical challenges caregivers and people in recovery face.
Ashley uses a client-centered, trauma-informed style. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and lets them shape the work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying strengths, setting concrete goals, and practicing changes that feel manageable.
She draws on several evidence-based methods to support those goals. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clarify values and commit to action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking and behavior patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to address relationship wounds.
Ashley earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Florida Atlantic University. She holds an LCSW in Florida and conducts therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching process and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How chosen approaches translate to online sessions
Ashley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people get clear on what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and making steady behavior changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises you can try between sessions to break cycles of worry or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work when relationship patterns and early connection issues are relevant. That approach looks at how past bonds affect current trust and closeness and supports rebuilding healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashley will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed program.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. When arranging online sessions, consider what you need practically: shorter check-ins can fit a break at work, audio-only may use less data, and video sessions can help when nonverbal cues matter. These practical benefits make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
