About Ashley

Ashley Rankin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience supporting people through big life changes. She practices in Florida and focuses on clear, practical help. Ashley aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful for everyday challenges.

She uses straightforward talk and active listening to understand what matters to each person. Sessions often focus on immediate goals like managing grief, navigating relationship stress, or making career decisions.

Background and approach

She adapts the work to the pace a person needs, whether that means hands-on skill building or quieter reflection. Ashley blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

She also brings experience working with people affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, panic and social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury. These focus areas inform how she plans sessions and offers practical tools. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Social Work and a Master of Clinical Social Work.

Ashley holds the LCSW credential and has practiced in multiple states before settling in Florida. This experience shapes a flexible, down-to-earth approach to care. Outside of work she lives with her husband and a German Shepherd.

She enjoys reading, running, and listening to podcasts. That balance between life and work shows up in how she structures therapy - practical steps that fit into real routines.

How Ashley’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects concerns back, asks clarifying questions, and helps the person find their own priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, empathetic space to talk through decisions or emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include simple experiments and step-by-step exercises to reduce panic, ease social anxiety, or change unhelpful habits. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with grief reactions, career decisions, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days and different life situations. Video calls let people read facial cues and have deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone needs a shorter touchpoint between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and keep momentum between meetings.
