About Ashley
Ashley Curtis is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and career pressure. She also supports people carrying guilt and shame and related issues like attachment wounds and forgiveness.
Ashley uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She listens for the patterns that keep painful feelings active. Then she works with clients to develop practical strategies for coping, communicating, and setting boundaries. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clearer values and practical actions that align with those values. Attachment-Based work addresses long-standing relational patterns that influence trust, closeness, and shame.
Ashley also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work person-focused. She encourages practicing new skills between sessions and tracking progress in concrete ways. That can mean short behavior experiments, communication scripts, or simple grounding practices.
People who come to her often want to repair a relationship, reduce harsh self-judgment, or manage anxiety that interferes with work and family life. The first sessions focus on clear goals and a plan that fits the client's everyday schedule.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for work stress, persistent guilt, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety, relationship worries, and body image concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current trust and intimacy, and it helps people recognize and shift those patterns in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what methods feel practical. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
