About Ashley
Ashley Jaggi-Hansen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by parenting stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life changes. She writes clear, collaborative plans with clients and focuses on practical steps parents can use at home. Ashley is a licensed clinical social worker and brings five years of experience to each session.
Ashley aims for warmth and steady support. She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds goals together, with a timetable and measurable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what to do between meetings and how to try new behaviors at home. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. Ashley holds an LCSW in Arizona and Utah.
She also has a coaching credential and has worked as a mental health therapist for five years. In sessions she draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are a focus.
The emphasis is on simple, usable tools rather than long explanations. Ashley balances clinical work with family life; she is a mother of three and enjoys exploring the western outdoors. Her personal experience informs a down-to-earth style that many parents find relatable and approachable.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Ashley incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT helps people with stress, parenting challenges, and mood concerns by teaching clear coping strategies.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for people struggling with avoidance, low motivation, or persistent worry. When trauma memories are central, she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions that follow.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and needs, and adjusts as those needs change. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you work face to face from anywhere, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, brief check-ins work well over text or chat, and messaging lets you send updates between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules and daily life.
