I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I began my journey into the helping professions in 1995 at Stetson University. In 1999 I graduated from that institution with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a minor in Music. After a brief hiatus to "catch my breath", I returned to school at the University of Central Florida. I completed my studies at UCF in 2002, graduating with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Following a 2 year post-Masters internship and a wealth of real world experience I was awarded my license in Mental Health Counseling in 2007. My approach to therapy varies from person to person. Some may benefit from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective to tackle negative thoughts and emotions while others may benefit from a more Existential approach. My focus is always on the needs and wants of the individual seeking help. Regardless of the method we employ, I also view therapy as a process that should be productive. A person receiving counseling should be able to see increased insight, more effective coping strategies, clarity, better decision-making skills or a combination of these. The counseling I provide is typically a combination of multiple modalities, including Solution Focused Therapy. The core values that drive my philosophy with regard to therapy are choice, authenticity, honesty, cultural awareness and positive regard. You are a unique individual. There has never been and will never be another you. Who you are is determined by a host of factors including genetics, upbringing , your heritage and the culture in which you were raised. You've taken an amazing first step by coming to BetterHelp.com. If you like, we can take the next steps on your journey together. I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome to BetterHelp! I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of FL since 2009. I provided individual therapy to a diverse population in a community behavioral health center until I resigned and became a counselor with BetterHelp. In 2024, I also became licensed in CA as Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I previously worked for 5 years as an in-home parent educator for the University of Florida's Nurturing Program. My therapy specialties are : Stress/Anxiety, Coping With Life Changes, Coping with Grief/Loss, Improving Self Esteem I have a passion for helping others and believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. I find it rewarding to work with people one on one. I especially like helping people discover strengths they didn't realize they had. People tend to seek counseling when they feel down, worried, frustrated, or upset. Many feel stuck, even hopeless, because what they have been doing hasn't improved the situation. Counseling can often help. Talking about your problems can give you a fresh perspective and help you find solutions. My clients say it's comforting to have someone to talk to that makes them feel safe and heard. They say counseling gives them hope that they can lead more satisfying lives. I prefer strength based client centered approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution–Focused Therapy. My counseling style is eclectic, so I draw from other approaches too if I think it can help someone. If you're ready to make changes in your life and want more support in moving forward, please call I’d love to work with you. Services Offered Messaging Live Chat Phone Video

Hello, and welcome. My name is Myhosi “Josie” Ashton, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience working in trauma recovery, crisis intervention, domestic violence, grief, life transitions, and emotional healing. I have worked with individuals from many walks of life, including survivors of childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, incarceration, immigration-related stress, anxiety, depression, and complex family dynamics. My approach to therapy is compassionate, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping people understand not only what happened to them, but how those experiences shaped the way they think, feel, love, trust, and survive. Throughout my career, I have worked within the criminal justice system, victim advocacy programs, community mental health settings, and correctional mental health services. I have also provided support to survivors navigating immigration-related trauma, relationship wounds, grief, identity struggles, and emotional burnout. I use a combination of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, mindfulness, emotional regulation techniques, narrative therapy, and strength-based counseling. However, I strongly believe therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” Every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected in the healing process. As someone who deeply understands resilience, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can process pain, rebuild self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with hope. Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life stressors, or simply trying to understand yourself better, you do not have to walk through it alone. Healing is possible.

I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to guide and partner with the individual to achieve their desired outcome. It is my belief that the answers lie within each of us, but it sometimes takes support and learning the necessary tools to manage and create the necessary change.
