About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions. Ashley focuses on helping adults who are struggling with mood, stress, relationship, and life-change concerns, including ADHD and grief.
Ashley views therapy as a collaborative conversation. She centers the person in the room and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions are paced to fit each individual, with practical tools and gentle skills practice woven into the work.
Background and approach
Her method draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered values. That means attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current patterns, while also building the client's own sense of agency. Cognitive-behavioral tools and dialectical behavior techniques are used when they match a person's goals.
Ashley also brings mindfulness and existential perspectives into sessions. These approaches support noticing thoughts and feelings, exploring meaning, and finding workable ways to cope. She sometimes uses breathwork and grounding exercises as simple, in-the-moment strategies.
All sessions are provided online in formats that do not require video. Ashley offers live audio, live chat, phone, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines. She works with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and daily life.
Approach and online therapy options that fit your life
Ashley uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape patterns in the present. This approach can help when trust, boundaries, or connection feel difficult. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and supporting each person to name goals and make choices that feel right for them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying cognitive-behavioral techniques for specific thoughts and habits, or using relational and existential conversations to address meaning and identity.
Online formats include live audio or phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits their schedule and comfort. Phone or audio sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
