About Ashley
Ashley Longabaugh-Cantos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and related concerns.
Ashley uses practical, evidence-informed approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions include clear steps for noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and building small habits that change daily life. She keeps language plain and gives concrete tools to practice between meetings.
Her background includes work with people from difficult situations and transitions. She has lived overseas and has experience as a military spouse, which informs her perspective on sudden change and adjustment. That background shapes how she talks through realistic next steps and coping strategies.
Ashley often uses brief, focused exercises in session. She may combine thought records, values-based action planning from ACT, and mindfulness practices to address symptoms and everyday struggles. Sessions aim to be structured and practical, not overly technical.
Outside the therapy hour she values humor and everyday routines that help people carry progress forward. Her practice acknowledges complex experiences such as grief, trauma, eating and body-image concerns, and intimate partner violence while focusing on what can be done now to feel steadier.
How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. ACT uses values-based steps and small committed actions to create change even when hard feelings remain. It can be useful for people facing loss, caregiving strain, or major life transitions.Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to notice sensations and thoughts without getting swept away. It supports stress management, coping with chronic illness, and building attention for daily tasks. Ashley will work together with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and daily life rather than insisting on one method. That means trying practical exercises, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan over time.
The original biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and use brief check-ins when needed. It can also allow for phone-only check-ins when video is not convenient or for shorter focused sessions during a work break.
