Ashley Ciminski

Ashley Ciminski is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in Utah with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and learning self-love.

Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop everyday coping tools. Sessions often look at current stressors and practical ways to manage symptoms. She encourages building resilience and improving self-regard through concrete steps and regular practice.

Her style is straightforward and action-oriented. Conversations include setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking what works. She helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and then test different ways of responding.


Clients may bring questions about relationships, work, or direction in life. Ashley supports people who want clearer priorities or who feel adrift after a change. She talks through values and choices rather than offering quick fixes.

In sessions she combines structured techniques with open conversation. That means time for practical skills and space to reflect. The focus is on what the person wants to change and realistic steps toward those goals.

Evidence-based approaches for change online

Two common evidence-based approaches are skills-based cognitive work and trauma-focused techniques. Skills-based cognitive work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges. Trauma-focused techniques focus on processing distressing memories and reducing how much those memories disrupt daily life. They are used when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking progress and shifting techniques if something is not helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better matches a day. Licensed professionals and therapists working online can use different formats, so ask about session length and structure when you schedule a first appointment.
