About Ashley
Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and career challenges. She speaks plainly and offers a calm presence for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Ashley creates a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful experiences and learn practical ways to cope.
She focuses on communication skills, managing intense feelings, and rebuilding trust in oneself after hard events.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps rather than big leaps. Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches that help people notice patterns, clarify values, and practice new behavior. She uses tools that can reduce panic, improve boundaries, and support healthier relationships.
Progress is measured by what the client notices changing in day-to-day life. Ashley pays attention to how attachment and past losses shape current relationships. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, codependency, commitment fears, and the effects of dissociation or guilt.
First responder stress and coping after disasters are other areas she addresses. People describe sessions as collaborative and practical. Ashley helps clients identify immediate coping strategies and longer-term goals.
Her aim is to help people feel more capable of handling stress and connecting more meaningfully with others.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps toward what matters to them. ACT often helps with anxiety, avoidance, and making values-based changes in daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT is practical for reducing panic, improving mood, and changing automatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what is helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, real-time coaching between sessions, or a way to work through coping steps when a full session is not possible.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using evidence-based approaches to address anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and relationship patterns.
