Ashley Curtis, LPCC

Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) based in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, and career concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Her tone is direct and empathetic, aimed at people who need clear support and steady guidance.

Ashley creates a calm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through what matters to them. She listens for patterns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems. In sessions she works with clients to identify realistic next steps rather than offering quick fixes.

Her approach pulls from several well-known therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new skills, and make values-based choices. She also uses strategies drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when helpful.

Ashley has eight years of experience and aims to make therapy practical and understandable. She supports people dealing with grief from divorce or separation, difficulties after disasters, first responder stress, dissociation, and struggles with guilt or shame. Sessions emphasize pacing the work to match each person’s needs.

People who want to start can expect a collaborative process that respects their experiences and goals. Ashley helps clients build skills for communication, coping, and healthier relationships while recognizing the small steps that lead to lasting change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without letting them control behavior and can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. This approach helps people recognize attachment needs, improve communication, and work toward more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-based CBT exercise one week and an attachment conversation the next, depending on what feels most helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches adapt well to remote visits - for example, CBT and ACT often include homework and worksheets that travel well, while attachment-focused conversations benefit from longer session time to practice new ways of talking.
