About Ashley
Ashley Jaggi-Hansen is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, family issues, grief, depression, and coaching. Ashley works with adults who are managing big transitions, relationship strain, or blended family challenges.
She uses straightforward conversations to identify immediate concerns and practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions often include skill practice, behavior-focused exercises, and discussion of values and goals. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use after therapy ends.
Ashley draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and elements from dialectical approaches to build emotion regulation skills. She also incorporates client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s own knowledge about their life.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. She holds licensure as an LCSW in Arizona and Utah. Ashley also has a coaching credential and experience working with trauma-related concerns.
Practically minded, she explains options, sets clear objectives, and outlines a timeline when helpful. Parents and stepparents in blended households may find her focus areas relevant when merging routines, managing loyalty conflicts, or navigating co-parenting strain. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site’s matching and scheduling process.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Ashley commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means homework exercises, thought records, and small behavior experiments aimed at reducing anxiety or improving mood.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present. That approach can help with life transitions, parenting pressure, and blended household stress by making priorities more visible and actionable.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. This often means trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
