About Ashley
Ashley Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, or facing changes in relationships, work, or daily life, and lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she addresses.
Ashley previously worked as a special education teacher and school counselor. That background shaped how she notices learning differences and how family and community can affect emotional growth. She also notes experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disability.
In sessions she keeps things collaborative and strengths focused. She uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies to help people change patterns that keep causing trouble. Mindfulness practices and narrative techniques are also part of her approach when they fit the person’s goals.
Ashley describes working with caregivers and loved ones who support neurodiverse people, and she mentions supporting women through life transitions such as changes in career, relationships, or mid-life shifts. Her work aims to build insight, confidence, and clearer next steps.
She offers sessions in English and practices in Texas. If someone is considering therapy, Ashley asks they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk about current concerns and practical goals together.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Ashley uses translate well to a remote format. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills between sessions; they are active and skill-based, which works well in video or phone sessions. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these can be practiced during a session and repeated at home. Narrative approaches involve telling and reframing personal stories to change how problems are understood and can be used in conversation-based sessions to uncover new perspectives.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the early work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means checking in regularly and adjusting techniques based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or caregiving duties and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
