More about Ashley
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor, licensed chemical dependency counselor and a national certified counselor. I completed my internship partly working with severely mentally ill individuals, many with co-occurring substance use disorders, in an inpatient hospital in Houston. I also counseled pregnant and post pregnant mothers working to migrate through the challenges of motherhood, providing counseling, support, and encouragement to those initially facing an unplanned pregnancy. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I have a special clinical interest in mood and anxiety disorders in young adults and adults. I am currently only offering services to adults at this time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
