About Ashley
LCSW-C (Maryland) with 12 years of experience. Ashley Shiff helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She centers the person in the room and listens for strengths they already have.
Ashley sees the client as the expert in their own story. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thinking and on Solution-Focused work to set short-term goals. Sessions are conversational and practical. Questions and reflections are used to clarify what’s getting in the way and what could help.
When trauma or loss is present, she attends to the felt experience and works to build coping skills. Emotionally-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas inform how she notices relationship patterns and emotional responses. These approaches are used to help people understand repeated reactions and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Ashley favors clear, doable steps rather than long theory talks. She helps people test small changes between sessions and checks in about what worked. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and create manageable progress during busy lives.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. It helps people feel understood and guides the work around their goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It offers strategies for testing and changing unhelpful thinking, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as the work moves forward.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific session options are not listed in the source biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, to shorten check-ins when time is limited, or to avoid travel. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversational check-ins and skill-building exercises that translate to everyday routines, helping people apply small changes between meetings.
