Ashlyn La Rose , LCSW, CSW

Ashlyn La Rose is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who also holds the CSW credential, reflecting clinical training in social work. With a practice grounded in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention, she centers each session on the person in front of her while working toward practical, solution-oriented goals.

Ashlyn combines person-centered listening with strategies aimed at measurable change, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. She has experience supporting individuals who are managing self-harm urges, suicidal or homicidal thoughts, and intense stress responses, always attending to safety and immediate needs as part of longer-term healing.

Clients work with Ashlyn to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and restore a sense of direction following difficult events or ongoing struggles. Her style is supportive and nonjudgmental, focused on practical tools and collaborative planning so each person can move toward greater resilience and clearer purpose.

Across brief interventions and deeper therapeutic work, Ashlyn aims to create a steady, strengths-based space where people can process hard experiences, reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, and develop skills to manage future challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Care

Ashlyn draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore values, goals, and personal strengths.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms. CBT is goal-oriented and useful for developing concrete coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated when emotional regulation, impulsivity, or intense interpersonal stress are present. DBT techniques focus on building distress tolerance, emotion management, and effective communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Ashlyn works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions - whether by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access timely support during transitions, and practice new skills between sessions with a licensed professional.
