Hello, nice to meet you. I look forward to talking with you. A little information about my personality is I am bouncy, bubbly, honest, and to the point. I believe we all need a encouragement in our lives to help us in a tough time. “Believe you can and you're halfway there." — Theodore Roosevelt. I am licensed in Florida with 4
years of professional work experience.” working with crisis, disasters, youth, teens, family, and adults. Prior to that, I did case management to help stabilize families and individuals who are in need with community resources. I also worked 10 years in law enforcement as a housing deputy and have experience with trauma and first responder burnout. I like helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & parenting issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I looked for a therapist in my area and couldn't find one when I most needed it. My daughter found Betterhelp and immediately was matched with Ashley Thornton.

She’s amazing! She’s funny and kind and genuine and I appreciate how she speaks to me with such candor and wit! She’s the best part of my day!
Ashley has been a guiding light for me as I realize some truths. She’s patient, and focused not only on the “what”, but the “why” and how to move forward. My toolbox gets fuller each session and I am glad I have her.
My experiences with Ashley has been extremely positive, I feel like she not only hears me, she listens, she has the insight to not only support me but, see things in the way I’ve never viewed them. She is my safe space and I am so blessed to have found her. I have felt more whole talking to her, which I haven’t felt in a while. She is worth so much to me and I value her perspectives and therapy.
Wonderful listener and offers practical solutions.
