About Ashley

Ashley French is an LCPC and an LPCC with 20 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction concerns, and the strain of caregiving and career challenges. Ashley also attends to issues like attachment wounds, codependency, family of origin problems, and the fallout of trauma and abuse.

Her style centers on noticing what actually happens in a person’s life and talking through patterns that keep them disconnected from themselves. She listens to the story you bring and gives direct observations that make conditioned responses easier to see. That practical feedback is meant to help people recognize choices they have not been making consciously.

Ashley uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She draws on Client-Centered ideas to follow the client’s lead and build on what they already know about themselves. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be introduced to help manage overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day coping.

Sessions are aimed at helping people slow down long-standing responses like people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or shutting down around others. She talks about values and goals and how to reconnect actions to what matters most. Many clients work on setting limits, repairing communication, and reducing the emotional cost of caring for others.

Ashley accepts international clients and works in English. She encourages prospective clients to consider practical fit first and to use a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step to begin.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Ashley often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional reactions. This approach helps people see why certain relationships trigger intense responses and supports learning different ways to connect and respond.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow what the person brings and build on the client’s own insight. That approach helps people clarify values and goals and make changes from their own sense of what matters. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, can be added when someone needs concrete skills to manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley treats approach selection as a conversation. She will help figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences so sessions feel practical and relevant.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, not needing to travel, or choosing audio only when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill coaching, and reflective conversation to work over distance while keeping a focus on daily routines and what you want to change.
