About Ashley
Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, life changes, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency issues.
Ashley is a wife and mother of three, and she draws on years of work in schools, clinics, and community agencies. She talks plainly about how life stress and complex trauma can affect families across generations. Sessions focus on usable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach blends practical behavior-focused work with conversations about meaning and values. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people choose actions that match their values.
Ashley favors clear, goal-oriented work. That can mean breaking a problem into small changes, building better routines, or practicing new ways to speak up. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, unclear boundaries, or losing themselves in relationships will find direct, skills-based support. Sessions include concrete tools for setting limits, managing intense feelings, and improving communication. She encourages steady progress with realistic steps.
Her background in varied settings shapes a pragmatic style. Sessions tend to focus on what to try this week and how to make small changes stick. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It can help when someone feels stuck or unclear about what matters and wants to act with more purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that repeat because of automatic thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds, so sessions remain relevant and practical.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it removes travel time and can shorten check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to use written exercises, mood tracking, and real-time practice between meetings. Licensed professionals, including this LPC, can help translate these approaches into day-to-day strategies that fit a client's schedule and needs.
