Dr. Ashley MitichLCPC

Dr. Ashley Mitich is an Illinois-licensed counselor with 14 years of clinical experience. She centers therapy on the relationship between people and their stories, and she encourages clients to use their own strengths to face stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, sleep disruption, and challenges at work or school. Dr. Mitich aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and direct.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Narrative Therapy to match what each person needs. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and the stories people tell about themselves. Then she works with clients to try new ways of relating and to rewrite unhelpful narratives.

Expect clear goals and practical conversation. Dr. Mitich often focuses on communication skills, repairing trust, and building routines that reduce anxiety and improve sleep. She includes discussion of sexuality and alternative sexual cultures when relevant to a client's concerns.

She works in English and is based in Illinois. People who want to begin are asked to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How attachment work and narrative therapy fit into online care

Dr. Mitich uses Attachment-Based Therapy to notice how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today, and to help people build more secure ways of relating. The Gottman Method is used to teach concrete communication and conflict skills that often help couples and partners reduce fights and reconnect. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and invites rewriting those stories to reflect strengths and preferred values.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and choose methods that match their needs, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. If you plan to try online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find that remote sessions allow for shorter check-ins when needed and smoother integration of therapy into everyday life.
