Ashley Cross, LCSW

Ashley Cross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor with 10 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health concerns. She has worked with individuals facing complex mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, as well as those coping with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. Ashley brings a steady, person-centered stance to sessions, aiming to meet each person where they are and build on existing strengths.

Sessions with Ashley begin gently, offering a low-pressure opportunity to orient to therapy rather than requiring immediate disclosure of everything. She primarily incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking, and draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to individual needs. As a Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor, she is also qualified to provide oversight and guidance to other social workers in clinical practice.

Ashley’s therapeutic aim is to help people cultivate resilience, greater self-compassion, and clearer strategies for navigating stress, relationships, career concerns, trauma, and life changes. Outside of her professional work she stays active at her local gym, spends meaningful time with family, and enjoys the energetic atmosphere of outdoor festivals with friends.
