About Ashley
Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience and practices in Mississippi. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. Sessions focus on real-life problems rather than labels, and she uses practical methods to help people manage day-to-day pressure.
Ashley has provided counseling in schools, clinics, and community agencies. Her background includes work with mood disorders, attention challenges, relationship and communication problems, and career or educational transitions. She brings a lived perspective as a wife and mother, and she recognises how trauma and systemic disadvantage can affect people across generations.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and practice small changes that reduce reactivity and build steadier responses to stress and anger.
Ashley also addresses concerns like codependency, dissociation, grief, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and seasonal mood changes. She aims to help clients break down barriers that get in the way of daily functioning and relationships. Work tends to be goal-oriented, with skills practice and straightforward feedback.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule their first appointment. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Ashley does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take actions that matter to them, even when strong emotions are present. ACT can be helpful for stress, anger, and motivation challenges because it focuses on what a person wants to stand for in life rather than getting stuck on negative thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to practice alternative behaviors. CBT is practical and skills based, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel outbursts or ongoing resentment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on real progress and feedback.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT and CBT exercises remotely, including skills practice, thought records, and behavior experiments that fit into everyday life.
