About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps adults facing anxiety, stress, depression, and other life challenges. She practices online from Montana and focuses on clear, steady support that fits each person's pace. Her tone is warm and direct, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried and pressed for time.
Ashley uses a person-centered approach that puts the client's experience first. She combines that with work focused on relationships and attachment.
Background and approach
Sessions are often practical and skills-oriented, with attention to how feelings show up in the body and in everyday life. In sessions she may use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies to teach coping skills for intense emotions.
Mindfulness and grounding tools are offered to help with panic, sleeplessness, and chronic stress. Ashley has six years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has worked with people dealing with trauma, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strains, and mood or personality challenges.
She also supports those navigating life transitions, career stress, and questions about identity. Therapy is tailored to what each person needs and wants to work on. Sessions may include breathing exercises, guided reflection, and practical behavior changes to try between meetings.
The focus is on steady progress and learning tools that people can use right away.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that come from close relationships and learn new ways to connect and feel safer in relationships.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and values. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers nonjudgmental support, and helps people find their own solutions to problems like anxiety or life transitions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps most. You and the therapist check in together about what is working and what to change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat allows a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
