About Ashley

Ashley McGarity is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings five years of focused clinical experience supporting adults facing attention, mood, and relationship challenges. She specializes in symptoms commonly associated with ADHD - including inattentiveness, difficulty focusing, and challenges with emotional regulation - and combines evidence-based skills to address anxiety and related concerns.

Ashley integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical awareness skills to help clients build practical tools for managing everyday stressors. She also draws on existential ideas to explore meaning, values, and life purpose, guiding people toward clearer priorities and a stronger sense of self. In relationship work she emphasizes healthy communication, assertive boundary setting, and understanding attachment patterns that shape how people connect with others.

Her practice is individualized rather than one-size-fits-all; Ashley collaborates with each person to design strategies, habits, and skills tailored to their unique needs and goals. She helps clients trace how past experiences influence present responses and teaches methods to challenge unhelpful beliefs and maladaptive thought patterns. The overall aim is to support growth in self-understanding, confidence, and more effective ways of relating to oneself and to others.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Ashley McGarity uses several practical approaches suited to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing ADHD-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current ways of relating and can be effective for addressing relationship struggles, intimacy issues, and patterns of connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-discovery, making it useful for building self-esteem and personal insight.

Ashley approaches treatment as a team effort - finding the most helpful blend of methods is part of the process. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions occur. Clients can choose video calls, telephone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options support consistent access to care and make it easier to integrate therapy into busy or changing lives.
