About Ashley
Ashley Schorkhuber is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who focuses on building a practical, collaborative relationship with each person. She aims to help people notice their existing strengths, make sense of hard experiences, and find usable tools for daily life. Therapy with her is warm and person-centered, not about fixing someone but about working together toward real change.
She has six years of experience in community mental health serving adolescents, adults, and families through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She has also supported people facing housing instability, community violence, and other systemic barriers that complicate healing. That background shapes how she thinks about resilience and practical supports.
Ashley centers trauma-informed care and focuses on improving communication, setting boundaries, and building coping skills. She helps people work through relationship and family challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the stresses of blending families. She also addresses workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize understanding patterns, strengthening coping strategies, and practicing concrete skills that fit everyday life. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change so progress feels manageable.
People who work with her can expect a respectful, curious therapist who aims to support growth through steady, practical steps. She invites those navigating major life changes, trauma, or ongoing stress to explore options and consider next steps.
How evidence-based methods guide online therapy
Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a collaborative way that focuses on practical change. Person-centered work means sessions begin with the client’s priorities and pace, then build usable skills to handle daily stressors and relationships. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety and stabilization first, then gradual processing of difficult experiences when the person is ready.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and past experiences with therapy, and together they will choose methods that fit those needs. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and manageable over time.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats available before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. It can also allow flexibility for those balancing caregiving or work responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication skills practice, and coping strategies effectively in remote sessions, helping people make steady progress without needing to change their daily routines.
