Evidence-Based Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Ashanti Palatnik draws from evidence-based methods to help clients make sense of difficult emotions and create workable next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and navigating relationship challenges with more balance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences can shape present-day connection, self-worth, and reactions to closeness or distance, supporting clients who want deeper insight into patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashanti works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy adds flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit support into a busy life. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between appointments or when scheduling a full session is not the best fit.
