About Ashley
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience, Ashley Farrens helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on issues like divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Ashley uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy in her work. Sessions emphasize clear conversation and practical steps people can try between meetings. She pays attention to faith-related concerns when those are important to the person seeking help.
Her approach starts with listening to what matters most to the individual. From there she and the person map short-term goals and small experiments to test what helps. That may include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing present-moment awareness, or trying focused behavioral shifts aimed at immediate relief.
Ashley draws on a decade of experience to balance supportive talk with concrete techniques. She explains options plainly so people know what to expect in sessions and why certain exercises are suggested. Progress is tracked against the person’s goals rather than vague ideas of improvement.
People who contact her begin by sharing current concerns and priorities. Early sessions clarify what is causing the most distress and which practical methods to use first. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions and everyday functioning.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's concerns at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the person decide which topics to focus on next. This approach helps when someone needs a straightforward space to talk and clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In practice this means setting clear goals, doing short exercises in session, and trying small behavioral tasks between meetings to test what works for reducing anxiety or stress.
Mindfulness Therapy uses attention to the present moment to reduce reactivity and manage distress. Simple awareness practices and brief in-session exercises are commonly used to help with anxiety, grief, or trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust the plan based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are often used to identify what feels most useful and to set manageable steps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The emphasis is on practical, goal-focused work that aims to fit therapy into everyday life.
