Ashley Brummett, LCSW

Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings both professional breadth and personal insight to counseling. She has more than 18 years of experience in social work and over 10 years specifically in counseling, having worked across settings that include child protection, services for adults with cognitive disabilities, hospice and palliative care, inpatient hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, long-term care facilities, and dialysis clinics. Those varied roles have shaped her understanding of depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, adjustment to life changes, caregiver fatigue and stress, and other challenging life events.

Ashley blends a warm, genuine style with clear, direct communication and a nonjudgmental stance. She identifies as a person of Christian faith and is willing to include faith-based perspectives when clients request that focus, while also being comfortable working without religious elements. She emphasizes partnership in therapy and aims to help clients make meaningful progress toward their goals.

Her personal experience with divorce, blending families, caregiver fatigue, and grief gives her additional empathy for those facing similar situations, and she is also a parent to teenagers. Ashley typically makes herself available during evenings and weekends, with occasional weekday openings, and offers sessions by phone, video, or text. She typically checks messages at least once each day and responds as promptly as she can.

Therapeutic Approaches Offered Online

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need support making sense of life changes, improving self-esteem, and navigating grief.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and panic. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms and testing new ways of coping.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is part of her approach for relationship and attachment concerns, helping partners or family members access underlying emotions and create stronger, more secure connections. EFT can be especially useful for intimacy issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, attend sessions from home, and select the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing progress.
