Ashley Goodey, LCSW

Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable. Parents and caregivers often find her practical style helpful when stress and relationship strain build up.

Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered conversation, and mindfulness tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Sessions focus on small, usable steps that fit into daily life. She often guides people through coping strategies for grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges at work or home.

Her background includes more than a decade working with bereavement, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver issues in California. That experience informs how she talks about loss, aging, and hospice-related decisions. She explains that grief is not a straight line and that people move through feelings in their own order.

In session, Ashley listens first and then helps clients set concrete goals. She combines problem-solving with attention to values, helping people reconnect with what matters most. Techniques may include identifying thinking patterns, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, and trying different ways to respond to stress.

People looking for help with parenting strain, relationship friction, anger, or life purpose work will find a practical focus on everyday changes. Ashley encourages steady progress and offers ways to carry new skills into busy routines.

Using CBT and Mindfulness Online for Grief and Stress

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, then shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and decide on goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and replaces them with practical alternatives to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment, which can calm racing thinking and improve coping with grief or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match methods to a person's needs, whether the focus is grief, caregiver stress, relationship strain, or day-to-day coping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework, or steady contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and life transitions while keeping focus on meaningful, practical change.
