About Ashley
Ashley Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addictions. Ashley also helps with issues related to self-esteem, intimacy, anger, and life transitions.
She approaches therapy in a straightforward, practical way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life more manageable. Clients can expect conversation, skill practice, and simple tools to handle intense emotions and cravings.
Ashley draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered listening. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs and tries different ways until something fits.
In sessions she often helps people notice patterns in relationships and address codependency, communication problems, and control-related behaviors. She supports clients in developing clearer boundaries, stronger sense of self, and healthier ways to cope with stress and substance-related problems.
Her work includes practical skill building for managing mood swings, dissociation, and anger. Ashley also addresses concerns tied to gender identity, HIV/AIDS, and first responder stress when those topics come up. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of connecting and responding when relationships feel unsafe or confusing. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's concerns and relies on attentive listening and reflective conversation to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT techniques one week and attachment-focused conversation the next, while tracking what helps most.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between obligations, and make scheduling across time zones simpler for international clients. Practical benefits include being able to access a licensed professional from where you are and using session time for focused skill practice and planning rather than logistics.
