About Ashley
Ashley Kraskey is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Ashley aims to keep sessions straightforward and approachable. She talks through both deep processing and practical day-to-day skills. Some appointments focus on exploring past experiences related to trauma or attachment. Others cover concrete coping tools for managing anxiety or stress in the moment.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and disruptions to mood and regulation. She also addresses substance use, eating and body-image issues, codependency, and caregiver stress. Ashley uses a mix of conversational and skills-focused approaches depending on what the person needs that day.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. That combination lets her listen for what matters, support moments of change, and help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. She encourages realistic next steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches you can try in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure by prioritizing their perspective and choices. Motivational interviewing is a short-term, collaborative way to explore readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation for new behaviors or routines. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite problems so they take up less space in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. That process happens together, and strategies can shift as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when needed, or offer shorter conversations that focus on immediate coping skills. It can also help keep momentum between deeper processing sessions and make attending appointments more practical for many people.
