Ashley Curtis, LPCC

Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns, and career transitions. She practices from Kentucky and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Ashley keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. Conversations move toward skills and strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve communication and self-regard.

Ashley draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape the work in session. She uses short exercises, gentle reflection, and behavior-focused tasks so people can try changes between sessions.

She pays attention to relationship patterns like attachment, abandonment fears, and codependency. Ashley also supports people facing body image issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and those coping after separation or traumatic events. First responder stress and co-occurring concerns are part of her practical focus.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person. Ashley aims to help people notice useful choices, build coping skills, and experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others. The work is intended to be accessible and focused on clear progress.

Her KY LPCC credential identifies her licensure in Kentucky. She offers sessions in English and frames therapy around each person's real life demands and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and everyday coping challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life; it can help with uncertainty, avoidance, and getting stuck in painful emotions.

Ashley treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, ACT, or another approach fits best, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different rhythms and practical needs. Video calls let people work face to face and practice skills visually. Phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written skills practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the work focused and practical.
