About Ashley
Ashley Goodey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing grief, depression, stress, and major life transitions. She presents calm and patience in sessions and aims to meet people where they are. Her style is conversational and supportive for those ready to take a step toward healing.
She has about 11 years of experience and a strong background in bereavement work. That experience includes helping people who expected a peaceful passing and those who faced sudden loss. She explains grief as a non-linear process and helps clients recognize that feelings can come in varied order and intensity.
Ashley uses practical tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques to link thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also draws on client-centered approaches to follow each person’s pace, and uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build coping and focus. Narrative ideas are used to help people make sense of life events and identity changes.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and clear goals like reducing overwhelm, managing anger, strengthening relationships, or navigating caregiver strain. She works with people on career stress, ADHD-related concerns, and life purpose questions as well as aging and hospice-related issues.
Her aim is to support people toward greater resilience and usable steps for day-to-day life. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through a simple intake and scheduling process.
