About Ashley
Ashley Burns is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She brings seven years of experience helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Her tone is warm and direct, and she focuses on building a calm, honest space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Ashley often helps people working through parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
How Ashley works
She pays attention to attachment issues and women's concerns and tailors her approach to each person’s situation. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to slow down when needed. Her approach includes Attachment-Based Therapy and Internal Family Systems, which guide how she listens and asks questions.
She encourages exploration of how past relationships shape present patterns and uses that understanding to build healthier ways of relating. The work moves at a client’s pace and centers real-life goals. Ashley aims to make practical changes that fit into everyday life.
That might mean trying a new way to talk with a partner, practicing a short breathing or grounding habit, or naming parts of yourself that show up under stress. She values collaboration and keeps plans straightforward. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their life.
Ashley supports progress in small, steady steps.

Online support options
Attachment and Internal Systems Online
Ashley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps identify ways people seek safety and connection, and it can be useful for improving relationship interactions and parenting responses.She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice different parts of themselves. IFS helps name and understand the roles those parts play under stress, which can reduce self-criticism and increase self-compassion. Both approaches aim to make internal shifts that change everyday reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. The therapist asks questions, offers ideas, and supports people as they test new behaviors in real life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a more traditional session feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or shorter workday access. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving between appointments.
