About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Mitich is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, and life transitions. She also works with people facing parenting challenges, career shifts, grief, trauma, ADHD, and issues like codependency and attachment difficulties.
She believes people know their own story and brings a collaborative attitude to sessions. That means she asks questions, listens carefully, and helps clients name what matters most to them. Sessions aim to build on strengths and practical steps feel balanced with time to discuss feelings.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods guide conversations about past patterns, how relationships work, and the meanings people give to their experiences. Techniques include looking at relationship patterns, reframing stories, and practicing clearer communication.
Dr. Mitich frames therapy as a process where goals are set together. She helps people try small changes between sessions and checks what is or isn’t working. Progress is measured in real-life shifts - clearer boundaries, calmer reactions, or improved everyday functioning.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk, focused problem solving, and guidance tailored to their situation. The practice emphasizes realistic steps and ongoing collaboration so clients feel more capable managing life’s challenges.
How Attachment, Gottman, and Narrative Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect and learn new ways to ask for support or set boundaries. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for communication and emotional connection; it offers specific exercises to reduce conflict and rebuild trust in close relationships. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping to separate problems from identity and rewrite limiting narratives.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and check in about what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.
