Ashley Wheaton, LISW-CP

Ashley Wheaton is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, commitment questions, workplace problems, social anxiety, forgiveness, and developing self-love.

Ashley helps people name what they are dealing with and then teaches practical ways to respond. Sessions often include talking through feelings, practicing clearer communication, and learning small behaviors that change daily patterns. She adjusts the pace based on how someone is coping in the moment.

She recognizes that faith matters for some clients and that others prefer a secular approach. Ashley respects those differences and discusses how a client's beliefs relate to goals and choices in therapy. Conversations may include values, meaning, and how faith or personal beliefs shape decisions.

For people who struggle with people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships, Ashley helps identify where those patterns began and what keeps them going. Work focuses on setting boundaries that feel doable, saying no with less guilt, and rebuilding a sense of self outside of other people’s needs.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses clear language and concrete exercises rather than abstract theory. People who want to work on mood, relationship patterns, or stress management will find a focus on skills that can be used between sessions.
