About Ashley
Ashley Cross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience supporting people through tough moments. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, and big life changes. Sessions start gently so clients can move at their own pace and feel heard without pressure.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Ashley takes a person-centered stance and builds on each client’s strengths. That means listening first, then shaping a plan that fits the person sitting in the room.
Ashley often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways to respond. She also brings in techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those tools fit the situation. Motivational Interviewing and narrative approaches appear in sessions to help clarify goals and personal stories.
Her work addresses practical concerns such as coping skills, emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and navigating career or parenting stress. She helps people develop concrete strategies they can use between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.
Outside of clinical work, Ashley stays active at her gym and enjoys family time and local outdoor events. These personal interests help inform a down-to-earth style in sessions.
