Ashley Askins

Ashley Askins is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, bipolar disorder, coaching needs, and ADHD. Her profile also notes a focus on attachment issues, addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, and life purpose.

Ashley frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them use their strengths to face challenges. Sessions typically involve clear, practical work rather than vague theory. Conversations focus on what is most pressing and useful in daily life.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. EMDR is part of her work for processing traumatic memories, and mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques appear in her practice.

Clients can expect straightforward tools they can try between sessions. Ashley aims to break larger problems into manageable steps. She offers coaching-style support for people rethinking their direction or purpose in life.

She practices in Tennessee and works in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session. The subscription billing structure can be canceled at any time and varies with location.

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Ashley’s work includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with attachment concerns, parenting strain, and relationship-driven stress. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and can help people who have trauma or abuse in their history.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what fits best for the person’s situation.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often adapt tools like CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and EMDR protocols for remote sessions so therapy can remain focused and practical.
