About Ashley

Ashley Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and everyday stress. She aims to provide a calm place to talk and figure things out. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.

With six years of practice, Ashley draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She blends client-centered listening with skills-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, building coping skills, and setting clear, achievable goals.

Ashley also pays attention to patterns that show up in relationships and attachment. She works with issues like codependency, communication struggles, control concerns, and feelings of emptiness. For people dealing with substance use or first responder stress, she brings a problem-solving stance alongside emotional support.

She is experienced addressing gender identity and LGBT-related concerns, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related issues, and the guilt or shame that can follow difficult life events. The aim is to help people make practical changes while also naming and processing painful feelings.

Sessions are offered in English and Ashley accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Ashley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors. That approach breaks problems into small steps and gives straightforward exercises to practice between sessions.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult feelings and committing to actions that match personal values. That can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashley will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes ongoing skill practice and between-session exercises easier to apply in daily routines.
