About Ashley

Ashley Lawrence is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She centers clients' own expertise about their lives, building on strengths and resilience to address challenges like parenting stress, anger, self-esteem concerns, and mood instability. Clients may also seek her support for issues such as abandonment, blended family conflict, chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, codependency, and divorce.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered care, dialectical behavior skills, EMDR for trauma work, and mindfulness practices. Ashley emphasizes collaboration and practical skills while honoring each person's story and values.

She encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin and offers steady, respectful guidance as they work toward clearer communication, healthier coping, and more balanced emotional responses. Based in Ohio, she provides services in English and accepts international clients.

Prospective clients who want to explore coaching-style work or clinical treatment for mood and relationship concerns can connect to learn how her methods might fit their goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Ashley often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical behavioral changes; this approach is useful for depression, anxiety, relationship patterns, and coping with life transitions. She also integrates client-centered principles that prioritize the person's own expertise and values, creating a collaborative space where goals are shaped around what matters most to the individual. When trauma is a focus, she may draw on EMDR elements and mindfulness practices to help process distressing memories and build present-moment coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Ashley partners with clients to explore which combination of techniques feels most useful, adjusting methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so treatment remains flexible and personalized.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options allow ongoing access to skill-building exercises, in-the-moment coaching, and regular check-ins without requiring travel, supporting continuity of care for people managing busy or changing lives.
