About Ashley
Ashley Jaggi-Hansen is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Utah with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, and coaching. Ashley also focuses on areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, communication and control problems, and coping with major life changes.
Ashley believes clients know their own lives best and takes a collaborative approach to care. She helps people identify clear goals and builds a plan with a timetable and practical steps. Sessions tend to focus on skills people can use between meetings so progress continues outside the room.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. Ashley holds LCSW credentials in Arizona and Utah. She has additional experience with coaching and with EMDR work as noted in her biography.
In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. She aims to give tools for handling overwhelming feelings and to help people make decisions that match their values.
Ashley mentions that sessions often include setting specific objectives and tracking progress. People who choose to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can be practiced between meetings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses skill practice and homework to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress is tracked. That lets therapy focus on what is useful rather than sticking to one method regardless of results.
The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm the available online formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire so appointments can fit into everyday routines.
