About Ashley
Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who focuses on helping people navigate grief, change, and interpersonal strain. She brings eleven years of clinical experience to work with individuals and families facing loss, caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Ashley frames difficult emotions such as anger, anxiety, and low self-esteem in the context of each persons story, and she attends to practical concerns like career strain, parenting challenges, and aging-related needs. Ashley uses a collaborative, patient style aimed at meeting clients where they are and building resilience over time.
She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore links among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and incorporates mindfulness and narrative-oriented techniques to help people find perspective and meaning. Her practice also addresses relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and end-of-life topics such as hospice and bereavement.
Ashleys goal is to support clients in strengthening coping skills and uncovering a sense of purpose as they work toward relief and greater balance.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment where the clients perspective guides the work; it helps people feel heard and fosters self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools for identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that often complement cognitive and narrative work when coping with grief or compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best aligns with their goals, values, and day-to-day needs, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. The emphasis is on partnership and on choosing interventions that feel manageable and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations and allow clients to continue care when life circumstances change. Working remotely supports consistent access to licensed professionals while fitting therapy into busy routines.
