I absolutely loved having Ashely as my therapist the past year. It has been so nice to have someone to vent to & constructively help me work through things. I am so grateful for all that she has offered me!

More about Ashley

- LCMHC
Hello, I am a fully licensed counselor in North Carolina. I have experience with individuals that are school-aged (K-12), young adults, and adults. I have been in the field of mental health for 9 years and 1 year within a residential substance use and mental health residential program. I completed my undergraduate degree at North Carolina A&T State University and my graduate degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and PhD in Developmental Psychology from Capella University. My treatment approach is to work with my clients on what they would like to achieve and assist them with making their personal goals but when they need a gentle nudge/reminder I am there for those needs as well as support. I see the best in my clients and provide them with the necessary tools to be able to see the best within themselves while acknowledging their efforts, big or small!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I'm grateful for her help.
Ashley is excellent! She is really understanding and an awesome listener!
I am grateful I was paired with Ashley, she is responsive when I message her and she always reached out with encouraging words. She put me at ease when I talked with her and it helped me to know that someone was looking out for me.
Although we haven’t had a formal session yet (by my own doing), Ashley has been very diligent at following up with me to get me scheduled. I truly appreciate this because I can get sidetracked and lose sight of what I need to be doing sometimes. I’m excited to start working with her.
I like Ashley. She's very understanding and doesn't judge me and is very helpful. It's nice to have someone I can talk to freely and figure out my thoughts with
