Ashley Schroeder , LPC

Ashley Schroeder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and motivation. Ashley aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm space where people can talk openly about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are straightforward and centered on what matters most to the client. Conversations often include clearer goals and small steps to try between meetings.

Ashley draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns. She also uses emotionally focused and Gottman-informed tools for relationship concerns, and motivational interviewing to build momentum when change feels hard.

Her work suits people who want practical strategies alongside empathetic listening. Common concerns include depression, coping with life changes, anger, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and career stress. She also addresses issues like body image, attachment wounds, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions may include talking through current problems, practicing new coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals. Ashley offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make participation easier for different schedules and needs. She works in English and provides care only within the United States.

How Ashley's Approaches Work Online

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's goals and pace, offering listening and reflection that helps people feel heard and understood. That approach is useful for people wanting a supportive space to sort through feelings and make decisions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking patterns and try new behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ashley discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods to fit what feels most helpful. She checks in regularly to see what is working and what can be changed so therapy stays focused and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing contact between appointments. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and needs, while still letting licensed professionals guide therapy remotely.
