Ashley Kraskey, LPCC

Ashley Kraskey is a clinical counselor and LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) who brings a calm, approachable presence to therapy. She has a strong background supporting people living with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and autism, and she welcomes clients at whatever stage they are in the process of change. Ashley emphasizes that every step matters, even when some steps feel larger or more difficult than others.

Ashley creates an inviting, laid-back atmosphere so clients can bring their full, authentic selves to sessions. When clients feel comfortable, meaningful progress becomes more likely. Some meetings focus on deep emotional processing, while others concentrate on practical daily skills and strategies to make life more manageable.

Ashley acknowledges that starting therapy can feel scary and that sharing personal information with someone new is hard work. She makes herself available to answer questions, address concerns about the therapy process, and offer steady support as clients navigate change. She looks forward to meeting new clients and supporting them through both the challenging moments and the everyday steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace and focus of their healing. This approach helps people build self-awareness, self-esteem, and coping skills by centering the client’s experience. She also incorporates trauma-focused therapy when past harm affects current functioning - this work focuses on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their impact on daily life. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful when clients are working through habits or making difficult life decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access care from home or other convenient places and allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are with consistent support.
