About Ashley
Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eleven years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Parents and individuals often find her straightforward and focused on concrete steps forward.
Ashley draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts and values, build new habits, and practice skills to manage emotions. Sessions tend to focus on what is useful day to day rather than long theory talks.
Background and approach
She has worked in schools, clinics, and community agencies, which shaped how she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and career questions. Ashley describes her work as practical and solution-minded while also attending to deeper meaning and values.
Parents reading this should know she also understands the strain of caregiving from her own life as a wife and mother. That perspective informs how she talks about parenting stress, communication problems, and family-related struggles. She aims to help people find clearer routines and less conflict at home.
In sessions clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress. Ashley uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered approaches to help people change patterns that cause pain and get back to things that matter to them.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Ashley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions toward those values. ACT is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on values and flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is practical for mood, anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and habit change because it pairs thought work with concrete skill practice.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they shape a plan that may draw from ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or client-centered conversation depending on needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works when bandwidth is limited or during a commute, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging lets people keep a regular touch without full sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
