About Ashley

Ashley Jaggi-Hansen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people strengthen self esteem and manage stress and anxiety. She offers a straightforward, warm approach and focuses on practical tools clients can keep using after therapy ends. Ashley aims to build clear goals with each person and map out steps to reach them. She often works with issues like grief, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns alongside self esteem challenges.

Ashley believes people know their lives best, so she treats sessions as a collaboration. She uses a mix of talking, skills practice, and goal-setting to help people make changes. That can include learning new ways to handle emotions, improving communication, and setting boundaries. Sessions are intended to feel direct and usable in day-to-day life.

Ashley earned a Bachelor’s degree at Brigham Young University and a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Utah. She has five years of experience as a mental health therapist and also holds a coaching certification. She lives in Utah with her three children and draws on that family experience in practical ways when it’s relevant.

Typical topics she helps with include trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, body image and eating concerns, and coping with life changes such as divorce or separation. She also supports people facing substance concerns and disruptive mood challenges.

She generally schedules appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:30 to 3:00 Mountain Daylight Time. If those times do not work, the matching process can help find another therapist.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low self esteem, and coping with life changes by building small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method some therapists use to reduce the strong emotional impact of traumatic memories; it aims to make those memories less overwhelming over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. Ashley treats this as a team effort and will help clients choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they set clear objectives and adjust methods if something isn’t working.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR-informed techniques to work over distance, using talk-based coaching, skills practice, and structured exercises to help build stronger self esteem and manage stress.
