Ashley Kelley , LPC

Ashley Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of repeating the same problems. She focuses on practical steps that can reduce stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. Ashley has a calm, straightforward style that aims to make hard conversations easier to start.

Before counseling, she worked in special education and as a school counselor. That background shaped her understanding of learning differences and how family and community affect emotional development. It also informs how she supports people who are neurodiverse or who care for someone with different needs.

Ashley uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s situation. She draws on narrative and person-centered ideas to center a person’s story and strengths. She also uses solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques to build practical skills for managing mood and worry.

She often helps with life transitions, family conflict, self-esteem, grief about choices, and issues common for women navigating change. Ashley pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and the struggle to forgive oneself or others.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients work on small, clear steps between appointments that aim to produce real shifts in daily life. Her approach is direct but compassionate, and she helps people build confidence and clearer direction.

Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, chat, or messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online work and practical care

Ashley uses a mix of evidence-based techniques that translate well to online formats. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and they teach concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and social worry. Narrative and person-centered approaches help people tell their story and name strengths, which supports self-understanding during life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and realistic for daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
