About Ashley
Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with ten years of counseling experience. She approaches therapy with warmth and direct communication. She aims to build a practical partnership so people can work toward goals related to stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes.
Ashley has worked across many care settings, including hospice and palliative care, inpatient hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, long-term care, dialysis clinics, and child protection.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her hands-on experience with caregiver stress, bereavement, chronic illness, and adjustment after loss or medical change. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to help people name unhelpful thoughts and try small, doable changes. Emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices are also part of her toolbox when addressing relationship strain, intimacy issues, or panic symptoms.
Ashley says she communicates without judgment and meets people where they are. She can include Christian faith in sessions when a person requests it, or leave spiritual topics aside if preferred. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, focused on practical steps between sessions.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, with evening and weekend times often available. People who want to begin will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Ashley blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral strategies to create practical, goal-focused work. Client-centered therapy means she follows the person's lead, listens closely, and responds with empathy to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to address relationship patterns and attachment concerns, and mindfulness practices to build toleration for strong emotions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and what feels useful in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
