About Ashley
Ashley McCormick North is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family-related issues including family of origin patterns. She also addresses addictions, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, and coping with major life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test beliefs against reality, and develop practical ways to respond differently. That can mean learning simple thought records, practicing new behaviors, or experimenting with small changes between sessions.
Ashley has long experience supporting people through loss, end-of-life concerns, and adapting to aging or chronic illness. She also brings experience with blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. Her work includes helping people handle guilt, shame, abandonment concerns, and commitment or control issues.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, actionable steps and steady progress rather than abstract theory. Conversations include problem-focused work and attention to emotions that come up. Practical tools and homework are used when helpful to reinforce changes between meetings.
She practices in Florida and offers services in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a clear framework to help people change thinking and behavior. CBT involves identifying automatic thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and practicing alternative responses. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and coping with grief or major life changes.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the kinds of tools that feel most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize thought-work, behavioral experiments, or practical skills like relaxation and activity planning.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists generally adapt CBT exercises for remote meetings, using shared worksheets, between-session tasks, and focused check-ins to keep progress steady.
