Ashley Kraskey , LPCC

Ashley Kraskey is a clinical counselor and LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - who works with people managing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and autism. She approaches each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis, meeting clients where they are in the process of change and honoring that every step matters, even the steps that feel overwhelming.

Ashley cultivates an inviting, laid-back atmosphere intended to make it easier for clients to bring their full, authentic selves to sessions. In that environment she balances deeper processing with practical skill-building, tailoring sessions so some focus on emotional exploration while others concentrate on everyday strategies and coping skills.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, Ashley offers supportive guidance about the process and invites questions or concerns along the way. She aims to help people feel understood and to work collaboratively toward goals that matter to them.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who need validation, improved self-understanding, and support in figuring out personal goals and values.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method Ashley uses to help clients explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is often useful for people working on behavior changes, habit shifts, or stages of readiness for new choices.

Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to address the effects of traumatic experiences while helping clients build coping skills and regain a sense of control. It is suited for those processing past hurt and seeking ways to reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Ashley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue consistent work toward goals without the need for in-person visits.
