About Ashley
Ashley Farrens uses a client-centered approach and practical techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is an LPC with 10 years of experience and focuses on clear, down-to-earth support. Ashley aims to make talking about difficult topics feel manageable and direct.
She helps people work through trauma and abuse and supports those coping with grief and loss. Ashley also addresses compassion fatigue and struggles with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
How Ashley works
She pays attention to faith-related concerns when those matters are important to a person. Her sessions are tailored to each person. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, and goals are set together in simple, achievable steps.
Ashley draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and problem-focused strategies to identify patterns and rehearse new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions when they fit the client's needs. Those practices can help reduce overwhelm and increase calmer awareness in everyday moments.
Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and track progress between meetings. Ashley emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. She encourages people to notice small changes that build toward larger shifts.
The work is collaborative, practical, and paced to match each person's readiness for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ashley often uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities and lived experience. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to set meaningful goals.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and some trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time based on what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations.
