01About Ashley
Ashley French brings two decades of clinical work to her counseling practice. She holds LCPC, LPCC credentials and draws on long experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her voice is direct and steady, and she aims to help people reconnect with their values and day-to-day goals.
Ashley believes pain is part of living, but it does not have to take over a life. She helps people notice how they have learned to cope and where those patterns cause more hurt than help.
Background and approach
Sessions include clear observations and practical suggestions based on the person’s story and current concerns. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered conversation and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses Jungian and existential perspectives too when they fit the situation.
The work focuses on what matters to the person now and how to make choices that match those values. Ashley is experienced supporting people facing relationship struggles, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and caregiver or career stress. She also addresses related areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, and family-of-origin difficulties.
Sessions move at a practical pace and emphasize usable tools for coping and decision making. People looking for a thoughtful, experienced clinician who will listen closely and offer grounded feedback may find her approach helpful.

04Online support
How approach and online therapy fit together
Ashley uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand recurring relationship struggles, trust issues, and attachment concerns that affect daily life.She also practices client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals. This method helps people feel heard while they sort out values and next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping when stress or mood swings get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley will work with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, permit shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to meet from different locations. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to choose a setup that fits your routine and communication preferences.
