About Ashley
Ashley Kelley helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of repeating the same problems. She offers calm, practical support when stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or big life changes feel heavy. Ashley is straightforward and warm in her approach, so parents can read quickly and get a sense of what to expect.
She earned a license as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and brings three years of clinical experience. Prior work as a special education teacher and school counselor shaped her understanding of learning differences and emotional growth.
How Ashley works
That background informs how she notices strengths and breaks down challenges into manageable steps. Ashley works with concerns such as depression, family conflict, social anxiety, and difficulties with self-love. She also focuses on issues tied to autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while honoring each person's pace. Her style blends narrative and person-centered ideas with solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Mindfulness practices are used when they fit a client’s needs.
The result is a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work. People who want clear tools and a steady ally may find her approach helpful. She communicates in plain language and breaks progress into small, doable steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Ashley uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to keep online sessions practical and focused. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. These methods use homework and concrete exercises that translate well to video or messaging formats.Person-centered and narrative approaches emphasize listening and understanding a client's story. These methods help people make sense of family tensions, shame, or identity questions by exploring values and personal strengths in conversation or written reflections during chat sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will discuss different techniques and adapt them to the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust methods over time so sessions stay relevant and effective.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing support, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy into busy family schedules and changing routines.
