Ashley Crank , LPC

Ashley Crank is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than five years of experience working primarily as an adolescent and family therapist. She earned a Master of Education with a specialization in Community Counseling from the University of Oklahoma in 2014, and has practiced in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient care, therapeutic foster care, and the school system. Her caseload has included clients as young as four and adults facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger and impulse-control issues, severe neglect, abuse, post-traumatic stress, and family or parenting challenges.

Ashley’s counseling style is grounded in empathy and collaboration; she meets people where they are while offering gentle challenges when clients are ready to move forward. Her clinical approach draws on Trust-Based Relational Interventions, cognitive-behavioral techniques, interpersonal strategies, and mindfulness-based practices. She adapts methods and session styles to reflect each client’s presenting needs and the evolving therapeutic relationship. Committed to supporting growth and resilience, Ashley focuses on empowering individuals and families to make meaningful changes and manage life’s difficulties more effectively.

Attachment and Cognitive Tools for Online Support

Ashley integrates attachment-based approaches and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address relationship dynamics and daily coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety within relationships, helping clients and families heal attachment wounds and build more secure bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulse-related challenges. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Ashley does with each person. She will explore goals, preferences, and the issues a client brings, then tailor techniques and pacing so the approach fits the client’s needs and comfort level.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain momentum between appointments. Ashley uses these modalities to provide practical, goal-oriented support that aligns with each client’s life and availability.
