Ashley Green , LISW

Ashley Green, LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), is an Ohio-based therapist who focuses on helping people regain balance when stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, or life changes feel overwhelming. She offers practical, compassionate support to individuals and families facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive tendencies, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, relationship struggles, trauma, addiction, autism-related issues, questions of identity and spirituality, and challenges with self-esteem. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration, and she works to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Ashley integrates a person-centered, trauma-informed model of care and draws from several therapeutic methods to support healing and growth. She uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) alongside cognitive and behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, internal family systems work, and exposure response prevention when appropriate. These tools are selected to help clients process painful memories, manage difficult emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build more effective coping skills.

Ashley encourages people to take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support and empowerment throughout that journey. She is available on this platform on Mondays and Saturdays, and she will work with clients to design a treatment plan that aligns with their goals and strengths.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Ashley draws on client-centered therapy to place each person’s experience and goals at the center of care. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard and respected while exploring change. It is especially helpful for people navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, identity questions, or difficulties with self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, managing stress, and addressing patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is another option Ashley uses to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR can be beneficial for those coping with past trauma, intrusive memories, or reactions that interfere with present-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to connect - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to engage in therapy from settings that feel most comfortable and accessible.
