Ashley Crafton, LPC

Ashley Crafton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with three years of professional experience. She assists clients facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, caregiver strain, communication problems, isolation or loneliness, and social anxiety. Her background includes a brief period in an outpatient agency and current work in an academic setting serving children in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Ashley centers her work on a person-centered foundation, combining that approach with cognitive behavior techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. She is also trained in Brainspotting, a focused body-based method she is comfortable delivering through telehealth. Treatment plans and session dialogue are tailored to each person’s unique needs and circumstances, with attention to respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Ashley honors that process. She encourages prospective clients to reach out when they are ready and looks forward to working collaboratively to support meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ashley integrates person-centered work with cognitive behavior techniques to create a practical and compassionate approach. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients explore their values and goals, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, life changes, and feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavior techniques involve identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and building new coping skills, often used for stress, anxiety, and depression. She is also trained in Brainspotting, a body-based, focused method that supports processing trauma and intense emotional experiences and can be offered via telehealth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Ashley works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods over time so the treatment plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match the situation, and Ashley follows that same flexible, client-centered practice.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for connecting from different locations. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, and they support international clients as well as those who prefer remote care.
