WHO ASHLIE WORKS WITH

Who she’s for

Ashlie works with adults, teens, young adults, college students, and couples. Women, men, and LGBTQ+ clients. Seventeen years across that whole range.

1

People who want to be told something.

Ashlie is actively involved rather than quietly observing. If you have tried therapy and left wondering what actually happened, that is the difference she is naming — you should leave with something you did not walk in with.

2

Couples, with structure.

Ashlie is Gottman Method trained and works with couples and premarital clients. Research-backed structure for communication and conflict rather than open-ended conversation about the week.

3

People who feel stuck.

Again in her words: here because you know you need a little extra help to move forward, to get things back on track, and stop feeling stuck. Anxiety, low mood, or a relationship that has stopped working — the common thread is wanting movement.

why work with Ashlie

Your time, treated as precious

Ashlie opens her own bio with it: she recognizes time is precious and wants your session to be valuable and serve you. That is a statement about how she runs the hour — feedback, skills, and something to take away, every time.

What brings people in

Anxiety that has taken over the planning. Depression that has flattened things out. A marriage or an engagement where the same conversation keeps failing. Or the specific, frustrating sense of being stuck when you can see where you want to be.

How she actually works

Interactive, person-centered, and solution-focused, with a personalized approach tailored to each client — her description, and the three words do real work. Interactive means she participates. Person-centered means you set the direction. Solution-focused means sessions aim somewhere.

What gets different

Ashlie puts it as finding your own wisdom and turning toward it, so you come into alliance with yourself and into your personal power. Underneath the phrasing: skills you keep, and self-trust where there was second-guessing.

HOW ASHLIE WORKS

A toolbox, for people who are ready

Her phrase is “a toolbox of skills for those who are ready and open-minded” — which is honest about what the work asks of you. Seven approaches, selected per client.

  • CBT
  • Gottman Method
  • Person-Centered
  • Solution-Focused
  • Psychodynamic
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Strengths-Based

1

When you want skills, not just space

CBT and solution-focused work for anxiety and low mood. Concrete: what the pattern is, whether it holds, and what to do instead. Ashlie commits to feedback and usable skills every session, which is the practical form of that.

2

When it is between two people

Gottman Method for couples and premarital work — structure built on decades of research into what distinguishes relationships that last. It starts by assessing the relationship rather than relitigating the last argument.

3

When you are not quite ready

Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic work for the part that is unsure, or the pattern that keeps repeating for reasons that are not obvious yet. Seventeen years is what makes switching between the direct and the exploratory look easy.

Warm, and clear

Seventeen years — and something to take away

Seventeen years across adults, adolescents, children and families is what lets her hand you something useful every session rather than simply listening and nodding.

“Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help and drink some water.”

CARE PHILOSOPHY

Not a quiet nod. Feedback, every session.

Ashlie is warm, genuine, and actively involved in the therapeutic process. As she puts it, “I’m not a therapist who simply sits quietly and nods. I want you to leave each session with something meaningful, whether that’s a new perspective, helpful feedback, or a skill you can put into practice.” If you have sat through therapy that felt like nothing was being handed back, that is the whole difference.

It comes from a stated belief that time is precious and your session should serve you. Over seventeen years with adults, adolescents, children, and families, she has built what she calls a toolbox of skills — for people who are ready and open-minded, which is an honest statement of what the work asks.

The approach is interactive, person-centered, and solution-focused, tailored rather than standard. Her aim is that you find your own wisdom and turn toward it, so you end up in alliance with yourself rather than arguing with yourself.

ABOUT ASHLIE

Into alliance with yourself

Ashlie Mohney is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pittsburgh who has been in practice since 2009, providing assistance to adults, adolescents, children, and families struggling with a wide array of issues.

She describes herself as an interactive, person-centered, solution-focused therapist who uses a personalized approach tailored to each client — with, in her words, a great deal of empathy and a toolbox of skills for those who are ready and open-minded. She is Gottman Method trained for couples and premarital work.

What she promises is specific. She is not a therapist who simply sits quietly and nods; she wants you to leave each session with something meaningful — a new perspective, helpful feedback, or a skill you can put into practice — because she recognizes time is precious and wants yours to serve you.

Alongside her clinical work, Ashlie serves as Director of Student Services and a clinical supervisor within the practice. Her hope for the work is that you find your own infinite wisdom and turn toward it, coming into alliance with yourself and into your personal power. She holds an MSEd from Duquesne University and sees clients at the Robinson office and by telehealth across Pennsylvania.

    Anxiety

    When Anxiety Starts Making the Rules

    Anxiety rarely announces itself as anxiety — it arrives as good judgment, feeling like being careful, responsible, or thinking ahead, and by the time you notice, it may have been making your decisions for years. OCD is mostly internal: intrusive thoughts, mental checking, rumination, reassurance-seeking. Both respond well to treatment.
