About Ashley
Ashley Jaggi-Hansen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people gain clarity, practical skills, and long-term tools to navigate stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship or family struggles.
Background and approach
She centers collaborative planning in care, treating clients as experts on their own lives while shaping an individualized plan that sets clear objectives and a realistic timetable. Her approach blends therapeutic techniques with coaching principles to support lasting change.
With five years of clinical experience, Ashley draws on training in EMDR alongside familiar evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered work. She holds an LCSW and completed undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University followed by a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah.
Ashley offers appointments primarily on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:30 to 3 MDT and emphasizes timely access to care, while also noting that scheduling constraints may require matchmaking with another therapist when needed.
Applying practical approaches to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to values-driven actions, which can help with life transitions and chronic emotional pain. EMDR involves a structured process to revisit and reprocess traumatic memories in ways that can reduce distress and change how those memories affect daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt techniques from these modalities to create a tailored plan. This means strategies may shift over time as progress is reviewed and new goals emerge.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility in scheduling and communication. These options help clients access consistent care from home or other convenient locations and support different styles of engagement, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or brief, ongoing written check-ins.
