About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Mitich is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work also covers life transitions, parenting strains, career questions, attention issues, and coping after traumatic events or disasters.
She starts by treating clients as the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and clear steps the person can use between appointments. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at reducing daily frustration and improving how people relate to others.
Dr. Mitich uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She draws on the Gottman Method when addressing communication and commitment concerns in relationships. Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to help people reframe unhelpful stories they tell themselves.
Her approach suits people dealing with grief, family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, and intimacy-related concerns including kink and alternative sexual cultures. She also offers support for those facing serious life stressors such as cancer or separation.
Dr. Mitich uses straightforward language and short-term goals when helpful. She asks about each person's daily routines and relationships to tailor sessions. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled from there.
How attachment, relationship work, and stories shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationship patterns and emotional reactions. It helps people understand why they may push others away or feel anxious in close relationships and offers ways to try new responses.The Gottman Method focuses on practical communication skills and patterns that affect commitment and conflict. It targets everyday interactions, teaching small skills that can reduce repeated arguments and increase connection.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face by reworking the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for issues like low self-worth, emptiness, or coping with major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can change as people make progress or face new challenges.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a work break.
