Ashley Brummett, LCSW

Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with ten years of counseling experience. She draws on a long career in social work to help people manage stress and anxiety. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims for honest, judgment-free conversations that move clients toward their goals.

Before practicing counseling, she worked across many settings including child protection, hospice and palliative care, inpatient hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, long-term care, and dialysis clinics. Those roles gave her practical experience with grief, caregiver stress, depression, and adjustment to major life changes. She also has personal experience with divorce, blended families, caregiving strain, and parenting teens.

Ashley uses a client-centered approach and combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work when helpful. She often includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing strategies to support coping and decision-making. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Her manner is compassionate and direct. She is comfortable integrating her Christian beliefs into sessions when clients want that, and she will not use faith-based approaches if clients prefer otherwise. Communication is open and nonjudgmental, with attention to what feels most useful for each person.

She typically offers times in the evenings and on weekends, with occasional daytime slots. Sessions are arranged after a short matching process and scheduled to fit each person’s needs.

How Ashley’s Approaches Translate to Remote Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through decisions, identity, parenting issues, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns in close relationships and intimacy-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending elements from different approaches and adjusting along the way based on what helps most.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, offering evening or weekend appointments, and allowing shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible. It also makes it simpler to continue care during relocations or schedule changes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets for remote use so work done in sessions can be practiced between meetings.
