About Ashley
Ashley Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She has worked across child welfare, foster care and adoption, substance abuse treatment, cancer and chronic illness care, and correctional settings. That background informs her work with people affected by primary and secondary trauma, caregiver stress, and those navigating loss or chronic health challenges.
Ashley uses a client-centered, trauma-informed approach. She treats people as the experts on their lives and collaborates on the direction of therapy. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps toward the client’s stated goals.
Her clinical toolbox includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She draws from these methods to help people name difficult emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop workable coping skills.
Ashley earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Florida Atlantic University. She holds an LCSW in Florida and brings experience working with caregivers and clients impacted by trauma, chronic illness, and substance use.
To begin, she asks people to identify what matters most to them and then builds short-term steps that fit daily life and responsibilities.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create. It is often used when feelings are hard to describe and when relationship or attachment patterns keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values and daily goals. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early connection experiences shape present reactions and relationship expectations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then decide together which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier around family, work, or healthcare demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to fit daily life so therapy fits into regular routines rather than replacing them.
