About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Montana with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, and changes like parenting or career shifts.
Ashley uses a collaborative, person-centered way of working. She listens first, then helps clients set goals and try practical tools that fit their life.
How Ashley works
Sessions emphasize respect, validation, and building skills people can use between meetings. Her background includes training in approaches that address how relationships and the body affect healing. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts.
Dialectical skills and existential questions also shape her work when they match a client's needs. Ashley often blends conversation with mindfulness and grounding practices. That can mean learning breathing exercises, gentle movement, or short meditations to manage strong feelings.
The pace and content are tailored to each person, so sessions feel relevant and doable. She provides counseling online and offers several ways to connect, including phone, live chat, text messaging, and scheduled video calls in formats she supports. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both client and therapist.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and trust. It helps people who notice repeating relationship patterns or who want to feel safer in close connections. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities; the therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.Picking the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Sessions can combine approaches so work stays focused and useful rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face when that helps, phone sessions work well if bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat supports real-time conversation without audio, and text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, handle shorter check-ins, and use the format that best matches the work you want to do.
