01About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She brings six years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, or life transitions. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can start to feel more like themselves again.
Ashley uses a person-centered approach that puts the client’s experience first. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a person’s pace and adapt to what feels most helpful in the moment. She combines attachment-based ideas with practical, skills-focused work from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means paying attention to how relationships shape feelings, while also teaching tools for managing intense emotion, challenging thoughts, or distressing reactions.
Ashley also draws on existential thinking and mindfulness practices when they fit the client’s needs. Those elements can help people find meaning, cope with uncertainty, and build daily habits that reduce stress and improve sleep or focus.
Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling with a concentration in addiction and additional experience supporting mood disorders, substance concerns, eating and sleep problems, and grief. She offers online sessions by phone, live chat, or text, and works collaboratively to match therapy to each person’s goals.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ashley draws from attachment-based therapy to help people notice how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. This work often looks at patterns in relationships, how trust and safety develop, and practical steps to change unhelpful interaction habits.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating difficulties. CBT often includes homework tasks and skill practice so people can test small changes between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Ashley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The result is a tailored approach that blends insight with skills practice.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Phone sessions can work well for check-ins or when video is not ideal, while live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief therapeutic check-ins into a workday or to process feelings without being on camera. Video calls are available for longer, face-to-face conversation when desired. These formats make it possible to continue steady care while juggling other responsibilities.
