About Ashley

Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and career-related challenges.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based methods to guide clients through relationship problems, attachment wounds, body image struggles, and issues such as guilt, shame, and codependency. With eight years of experience, she brings a calm, focused approach to complex emotional concerns and co-occurring difficulties.

Curtis emphasizes collaboration and curiosity, creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical coping skills. She draws on therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and DBT-informed strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Practical tools and emotional processing are balanced to help clients rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships. Her practice supports people navigating life transitions, workplace stress, communication breakdowns, and the aftermath of separation or trauma.

Sessions aim to identify strengths, reduce distress, and increase clarity about values and goals so clients can move forward with greater resilience and agency.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Ashley Curtis integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for stress, social anxiety, and career-related concerns. ACT emphasizes mindfulness and values-driven action, helping people tolerate difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful life directions, which supports work on trauma recovery, relationship decisions, and self-esteem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Curtis works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage workplace demands, or access therapy from home, while still engaging in structured, skills-based work and emotional exploration with a licensed professional.
