About Ashley
Ashley Jaggi-Hansen meets people where they are and helps them find clearer direction. She focuses on practical steps and skills people can use between sessions. Ashley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and brings five years of experience to her work.
Ashley aims for a warm, straightforward approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life. Together with clients she builds a plan with clear goals and a realistic timeline.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize tools that can be used long-term. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Ashley also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and family problems, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and body image concerns. In session she uses evidence-informed approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered work, and EMDR. The work can include coaching-style conversations focused on concrete change and symptom-focused strategies for coping.
Ashley earned a bachelor degree at Brigham Young University and a master of social work from the University of Utah. She holds an Arizona LCSW license (LCSW-22063) and a Utah LCSW license (7060347-3501). She lives in Utah with her three children and draws on that life experience when helping parents and caregivers.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take steps toward it. It focuses on values and small, meaningful actions to reduce the power of painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions when used by a clinician trained in the method.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so treatment stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and chat work well for ongoing coaching, brief updates, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make scheduling and consistent follow-up easier for busy lives and varied routines.
