About Ashley
Ashley Ferguson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self esteem, grief, anger, and depression. Ashley also addresses communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, panic attacks, isolation, forgiveness, and building self-love.
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in her work. She centers sessions on practical steps and clear goals. Sessions often include examining thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and talking through obstacles to motivation.
She approaches clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, identifying what is getting in the way and what can be changed next. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress or trying short experiments between sessions.
Ashley has experience working with people coping with addiction, anger, and low confidence. She helps people sort through life transitions and grief while restoring day-to-day functioning. Her work also targets communication skills to reduce conflict and isolation.
To begin, she asks a few questions to understand immediate needs and goals. From there she and the person set achievable first steps. Sessions are intended to produce clear actions the person can try between meetings.

Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing in remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and patterns that keep stress high. Motivational Interviewing looks at a person’s reasons for change and helps build readiness and internal motivation, often used for addiction and behavior change.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend how CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix might fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try talking through skills practice or motivation strategies between in-person sessions when that is helpful.
