About Ashley
Ashley French is a licensed counselor with twenty years of experience supporting people through hard transitions and persistent struggles. She holds the LCPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Kentucky. Ashley frames therapy as a chance to reconnect with your values and to notice patterns that keep you stuck.
Ashley helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also addresses addiction, bipolar concerns, relationship problems, and career strain. Adoption and foster care issues and attachment concerns are among her additional focuses.
Her work is grounded in listening first. She uses a client-centered stance to learn what matters to each person. Then she offers observations and practical feedback so people can see conditioned habits and make different choices.
Ashley draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth. Expect clear language, steady curiosity, and an emphasis on small, usable changes. The goal is to help people return to their own priorities and live with a bit more ease and purpose.
How these approaches translate to online work
Ashley blends client-centered listening with attachment-based and DBT-informed ideas to help people manage emotions and reconnect to their values. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can lead the pace and direction of work. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and helps people name those patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashley collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level - for example, a quieter audio check-in when bandwidth is limited, or a longer video conversation when deeper exploration is needed. Licensed professionals aim to tailor session length and focus to practical needs and goals.
