About Ashley
Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with five years of experience, Ashley Askins helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and life-purpose questions. Ashley uses approaches listed in her profile to guide conversations and plan next steps.
Ashley frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build from. Sessions focus on practical strategies to reduce symptoms, improve day-to-day functioning, and clarify values and goals.
Her background includes work on addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues. These experiences shape how she notices patterns in relationships and behavior. She brings attention to attachment, guilt and shame, and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination when they show up in therapy.
In sessions she uses specific methods such as attachment-based techniques, cognitive behavioral approaches, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to address things like traumatic memories, unhelpful thoughts, emotion regulation, and motivation for change.
Practical matters are part of the conversation. Ashley works with people around postpartum depression, forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding after substance use concerns. People typically leave sessions with concrete next steps and skills to practice between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. In practice this means noticing recurring relationship themes and working on new ways to relate that reduce anxiety and improve trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and management of mood swings by teaching clear skills for thinking and behaving differently. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used when trauma memories keep causing strong reactions in daily life. Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the early work. Ashley will collaborate with the person to figure out which methods match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques across approaches over time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session that does not require camera use. Talk through practical scheduling and format needs when you complete the matching questionnaire to identify what will work in your daily routine.Sheet 3
