About Ashley
Ashley Bashaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a background in broader mental health work to sessions. Ashley aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can begin to sort through difficult feelings and practical problems.
She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD, and also helps people dealing with trauma or emotional and physical abuse.
Background and approach
Ashley addresses relationship strains, parenting challenges, grief, and problems with anger or addiction in straightforward conversations. She also supports people managing career stress, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Ashley’s style is open minded and supportive.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and listens for each person’s priorities before suggesting a plan. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with emphasis on practical steps and achievable goals. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed work.
That mix is used to match tools to each person’s needs rather than apply a single method for everyone. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Ashley focuses on making that step manageable. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and supports them through the changes they want to make.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Evidence-based approaches Ashley uses include cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral methods help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related struggles. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on building small, practical steps toward the changes someone wants to see.Trauma-informed work is also part of her approach, which involves pacing conversations, validating reactions, and developing coping skills after experiences of abuse or violence. These methods are chosen to match the person's needs and goals rather than applying one fixed method to everyone.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their priorities and try different techniques as needed. Together they decide what feels workable and adjust the plan over time to better fit progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and have longer, interactive sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework follow-ups convenient between longer sessions. These options let people fit counseling into busy schedules and keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
