This is my second time with Ashley Great experience all around

Reviewed November 2023

McCracken is truly wonderful! She makes me feel like I am her only client in regards to listening and remembering what we have talked about. She always has a way of keeping on track when I get sideways! She makes you feel safe and for me that is the most important! Thank you

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida, Oregon, and Arizona. My areas of expertise include psychotherapy, crisis management, treatment planning, self-advocacy, and career counseling.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
