Ashley Kraskey, LPCC

Ashley Kraskey is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, or past trauma. She also supports those dealing with codependency, attachment concerns, and issues tied to adoption or caregiving.

Ashley takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. She listens first and then helps people name what matters most to them. Some meetings focus on deep processing of painful events. Other meetings concentrate on small practical steps for daily life, like managing anxiety or tightening boundaries.

She uses several therapeutic methods to fit different needs. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and topics. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques are used to clarify problems and build workable next steps.

Ashley often works with people who have experienced abuse, dissociation, or substance-related concerns. She also supports those managing body image, parenting stress, or mood difficulties. Her style is direct and relaxed, with an emphasis on making progress that fits day-to-day life.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when that helps. She encourages questions about the process and will discuss what to expect at the first appointment. People who struggle with saying no, putting others first, or living around another person’s moods may find the focus areas familiar and relevant.
