About Ashley

Ashley Askins is a licensed therapist in Tennessee who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and those seeking coaching.

Background and approach

With an LPC-MHSP credential and five years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies with a strengths-based view that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She emphasizes courage and partnership as key parts of beginning change.

Her work draws on evidence-informed methods to help people build coping skills, process painful experiences, and reconnect with values and purpose. She uses approaches such as attachment-focused work to explore relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.

She also integrates EMDR and motivational interviewing when appropriate to address trauma and to support readiness for change. Clients can expect an approach that is collaborative, intentional, and oriented toward practical steps for daily life.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape present connections and emotional safety; in online sessions this approach helps people explore relational responses and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an action-oriented method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for change, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic or distressing memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall to reduce the emotional intensity of those experiences.

Determining which approach or combination will serve a person best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with clients to assess goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and adapts techniques over time so work stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with this practice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make regular engagement easier for those balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-oriented care across distance.
