About Ashley
Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens with patience, meeting clients where they are. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and help people find steady ground during hard times.
She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Ashley also draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for spotting patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes.
Ashley has 11 years of experience, including extended work with bereavement and end-of-life issues. That background shapes how she supports people through loss, caregiver stress, and decisions near the end of life. She explains that grief does not follow neat stages and that reactions can change over time.
Sessions focus on practical steps and emotional care. Clients can expect clear conversation, gentle skill-building, and attention to what matters most to them. Ashley helps people work through family conflict, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach combines listening, mindfulness exercises, and thought-focused practices to create useful ways forward. People looking for steady support during major changes, grief, or ongoing stress may find this approach helpful.

How Mindful, Client-Centered, and CBT Work Online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting carried away. It can reduce reactivity to stress and make strong emotions easier to sit with. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's pace; the therapist reflects what matters to the client and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses small experiments to test new habits and reduce symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also permits using exercises and mindful practices in real-time situations where issues occur. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to suit each person’s daily routine and goals.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
