About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Mitich is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, motivation and self-esteem concerns, relationship strain, and depression. She also helps people navigating parenting, career decisions, ADHD, and grief.
Dr. Mitich frames therapy around a person’s story. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths that can be used to address current problems. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical changes and clearer understanding of patterns that repeat across relationships and work.
Her background includes work with attachment issues and family of origin questions. She also has experience addressing intimacy-related concerns, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture when those matters affect daily life and relationships. Trauma, abuse, and coping after loss are also within her experience.
In sessions she uses approaches that help people notice how past relationships influence present behavior. She draws on narrative techniques to rewrite troublesome stories and on the Gottman Method for concrete relationship skills when relevant. The aim is clearer communication, steadier emotional reactions, and better decision making.
People who come to Dr. Mitich can expect a direct, practical style. She helps set small goals, tries techniques in session, and checks progress along the way. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first appointment.
How attachment, narrative, and Gottman work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotional reactions and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice different ways of connecting with others.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. In remote sessions this approach helps separate a problem from the person and explore new, more useful storylines for work, parenting, and relationships.
The Gottman Method teaches concrete relationship skills such as managing conflict and improving day-to-day connection. These skills translate into exercises and check-ins that can be practiced between remote sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which fits needs, goals, and personal preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may adjust over time as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are set through the site. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques in the midst of their actual routines so changes can be tested and refined between sessions.
