About Ashley
Ashley Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, and life changes. Sessions also address family problems and concerns related to neurodiversity and women's issues.
Before counseling, she taught special education and worked as a school counselor. That background shaped her understanding of learning differences and how family and community influence feelings and behavior. She uses that perspective when talking through problems with clients.
Her approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. She uses narrative and person-centered methods to help people tell their story and find what matters to them. She also incorporates solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based techniques to build skills for coping and managing difficult thoughts.
Ashley often supports people dealing with autism or Asperger syndrome and intellectual disability, and she works with caregivers and loved ones who support neurodiverse people. She also addresses social anxiety, phobia, forgiveness, and issues around self-love.
In sessions she helps clients break cycles of replaying the same problems and work toward clearer choices. She asks practical questions, suggests small experiments, and practices thought and behavior skills together. Clients set goals and move at a pace that fits their life.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Ashley draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT offers concrete exercises and behavioral experiments that can reduce repetitive guilt and anxious thinking over time. Narrative methods are used to separate a person from the story they tell about themselves; this can help when shame or identity-related guilt feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needs change.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can use mindfulness exercises, thought-record work, and short behavioral experiments effectively in virtual settings, and Ashley adapts materials so they can be practiced between sessions.
