About Ashley
Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Kentucky who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, and career stress. Ashley emphasizes clear, practical steps so clients can start feeling steadier in daily life.
Ashley keeps sessions compassionate and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with each person to build skills for coping and communicating. Conversations often include concrete tools for handling panic, improving communication, and reducing self-criticism.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several established methods, such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies. Those methods are used to notice difficult thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and focus on values that matter to the client. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions.
Ashley has eight years of experience as an LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor. That background supports work on issues like abandonment, codependency, forgiveness, and coping after disaster. She also addresses body image, dissociation, and first responder concerns.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Ashley helps people identify small steps they can take between meetings. Over time the goal is to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve relationships, and strengthen personal sense of agency.
Using therapy approaches online for anxiety and relationships
Ashley uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try manageable behavior changes. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is often useful for anxiety and stress. ACT encourages noticing hard emotions, clarifying values, and taking actions that match what matters most.Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, helping people understand how early relationship patterns can shape present reactions and intimacy struggles. This approach can be helpful when exploring communication problems, abandonment concerns, or codependency. Ashley will work together with each person to choose which approaches match their goals and style of learning.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing processing between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact, practice skills, and adjust session length or format as needs change.
