About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Bryan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She combines clinical work with teaching and brings practical knowledge from healthcare into her practice. Her stated focus includes trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and career and life transitions.
She trained with a range of graduate programs including an Ed.D. from the University of Miami, an MSW from Temple University, and an MA in Community Psychology and Social Change. That mix of education and two decades of practice informs how she organizes sessions and follows up between meetings. She also teaches social work as an adjunct professor at Shippensburg University.
Bryan says she uses several approaches to help people make changes. Those include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In plain terms she works with a person to notice what matters, reduce upsetting patterns, and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Her lived experience as a cancer survivor and as someone managing chronic pain influences how she supports people dealing with long-term health issues and caregiving stress. She also notes attention to cultural awareness shaped by her biracial background.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and managing real-life demands like work, sleep, eating, and family stress. To begin, readers are asked to follow the listed steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying valued goals and taking action toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It helps with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and low mood by clarifying what matters and encouraging small, consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing symptoms of ADHD.Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily demands, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical care because travel time is reduced. Shorter check-ins or sessions scheduled during a break at work can be arranged if that suits a person's routine, and not being on camera can help when bandwidth is limited or attention is low. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match everyday life.
