Ashley Craige , LPC

Ashley Craige uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and life transitions. She is Ashley Craige, LPC, and she aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation rather than a lecture. Her style is straightforward and focused on what will help day to day.

Ashley has ten years of professional experience and works with adolescents ages 12 to 18 and adults 18 and older. She holds a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in marriage and family counseling from the University of Mobile. She also holds credentials as an alcohol and drug counselor and has served as an approved clinical supervisor.

Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, school-based programs, and residential settings. She has provided substance use and mental health services and has trained other therapists in the field. That variety gives her practical insight into different care settings and real-world coping strategies.

In sessions she blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people change patterns, manage strong emotions, and stay motivated through recovery or life changes. She emphasizes small achievable steps and builds on each person's strengths.

Ashley pays particular attention to issues many women raise, like self-love, workplace stress, and balancing roles. She also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, family conflict, and career pressures. Her goal is to help clients find clearer choices and more manageable next steps.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead, listening first and tailoring sessions to what matters most. Client-centered work helps people feel heard and sets the agenda around their priorities.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress happens.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support, brief updates, or when typing feels more comfortable.

These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, manage recovery steps between appointments, and keep momentum on goals without long commutes or scheduling hurdles.
