Ashley Jaggi-Hansen, LCSW

Ashley Jaggi-Hansen is an LCSW who helps people facing midlife shifts, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She writes clear goals with each person and focuses on practical steps that fit real life. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to leave people with tools they can keep using.

She works collaboratively to build a plan that reflects each person's priorities and timeline. Sessions focus on small, doable changes such as new ways to handle difficult thoughts, rebuild connection, or manage cravings. Ashley brings coaching skills alongside clinical work to help clarify values and move toward meaningful goals.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah and undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. Ashley has five years of experience as a mental health therapist and maintains a coaching certification. She balances evidence-informed methods with a client-centered style.

In sessions she uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior work. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods when appropriate for trauma-related concerns. These methods are integrated into practical plans people can try between sessions.

Ashley lives in Utah with her three children and enjoys time outdoors exploring the West. Her schedule generally includes weekday morning and early afternoon appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and she works with clients to find a path that fits their life and goals.

How specific approaches guide online work

Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. This approach is useful for life transitions, midlife questions, and ongoing anxiety that gets in the way of chosen goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on short-term strategies people can practice between sessions to reduce worry, improve mood, or change relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at problems, preferences, and goals together and choose methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.

For practical online arrangements, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote formats so people can practice skills at home, at work during a break, or while traveling.
