Ashley Kelley, LPC

Ashley Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Her approach aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope. Ashley draws on her background as a special education teacher and school counselor. That earlier work shaped how she notices learning differences and emotional growth. It also influenced her understanding of how family and community affect wellbeing. She has experience supporting neurodiverse people, including those on the autism spectrum and people with ADHD. She also works with people who care for or live with someone who is neurodiverse. Ashley pays attention to how relationships and roles shape stress and coping. Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused. She uses narrative, person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor sessions. In practice this means talking through patterns, trying small experiments, and building skills to manage anxious moments. Ashley particularly supports women navigating transitions in relationships, work, or life stage. She aims to help clients build insight, confidence, and self-compassion. The goal is practical progress clients can notice between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online therapy

Ashley uses evidence-based techniques that address thoughts, behavior, and daily habits. Cognitive-behavioral ideas focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety. This helps when worry or negative self-talk keeps someone stuck. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to manage stress in the moment. These tools are useful for panic, rumination, and overwhelm because they provide concrete ways to pause and reorient. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Practical benefits of online therapy can include more flexible scheduling and easier fitting of sessions into a usual day. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to use digital worksheets or recordings. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be held and how they will fit into your routine.
