About Ashley
Ashley McCormick North is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, and major life changes. Ashley also addresses self-esteem, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, career challenges, and bipolar-related coping.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Sessions look at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical ways to test and change them. That means learning small experiments and new habits to break cycles that keep someone stuck.
Ashley has long experience supporting people through loss and end-of-life questions. She has also worked with people facing illness, chronic pain, caregiving stress, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family-of-origin concerns. Those situations often bring grief, guilt, or conflict, and she helps people sort through those feelings.
Her work with relationships includes early-marriage struggles, commitment and control issues, and fatherhood questions. She pays attention to how patterns between partners repeat and what practical changes can reduce conflict and increase connection.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is happening and why. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and homework to practice between meetings. Ashley combines direct discussion with exercises that help people test new ways of thinking and acting.
She offers services in English from Florida and accepts international clients. People who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule an initial session and determine the best next steps.
How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT in practice means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and trying small behavioral experiments to change outcomes. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship patterns, and coping with loss.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose what methods feel most useful based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include adjusting homework, pacing, and the mix of discussion and practical exercises over time.
