Ashna Wallace

Ashna Wallace is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel unheard, dismissed, or overwhelmed by the many demands in their lives. Her approach centers on practical steps to regain a sense of control and find a clearer path forward.

Ashna listens for the everyday struggles beneath stress and anxiety. She helps people name what’s getting in the way and build small, practical skills to change it. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making daily life more manageable rather than offering abstract theory.

She pays particular attention to issues around relationships, intimacy, and family-of-origin patterns that leave people feeling stuck. Work and career concerns are part of her focus, especially when job stress affects mood, confidence, or sense of purpose. Ashna also addresses mood conditions such as depression, bipolar challenges, panic, and seasonal affective disorder with practical coping strategies.

Ashna integrates client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. The emphasis is on collaboration and on skills that can be used between sessions.

People who tend to carry heavy responsibilities or who feel burned out by expectations may find her style useful. She encourages boundary setting, self-compassion, and focused action so clients can start to feel more agency in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Ashna blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients feel understood so they can decide the next steps. This approach supports people who are trying to find their voice or set boundaries in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. It uses exercises and homework to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve self-care.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then tailor techniques from these methods to fit the client's needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions over time rather than locking into one method at the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling short check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled. Practical benefits include easier time management, consistent follow-through on homework, and the ability to maintain therapy while juggling family or work demands.
