About Ashley McGarity
Ashley McGarity is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings a focused, individualized approach to working with adults navigating attention and anxiety-related concerns. She specializes in supporting people affected by ADHD symptoms such as inattentiveness, difficulty concentrating, emotional regulation challenges, and anxiety that arises in connection with attention differences. Ashley integrates practical cognitive-behavioral techniques with skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping strategies for everyday challenges while also incorporating existential inquiry to help clients clarify values and life purpose.
Ashley applies these approaches to anxiety disorders broadly and to relationship difficulties, helping clients develop assertive communication, healthy boundary setting, clearer self-awareness about needs in partnerships, and work through attachment-related patterns. Her practice emphasizes tailored treatment rather than a one-size-fits-all model, collaborating with each individual to create habits, tools, and strategies that reflect personal strengths and goals.
In session, Ashley explores how past experiences show up in present thinking and behavior, and she helps clients identify and reframe irrational beliefs and maladaptive thought patterns. The therapeutic process she uses blends skills training, reflective exploration, and evidence-based interventions so clients gain practical skills while deepening self-understanding.
Ashley values client self-advocacy and the celebration of individuality, and her work supports growth in confidence, communication, and relational functioning. She aims to help clients move toward greater authenticity, clarity about personal values, and improved day-to-day coping.
