About Ashley

Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She practices from Montana and combines evidence-based therapies with relational and somatic techniques to help clients reconnect with their inner resources. Kingston emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered stance where clients’ priorities and lived experience shape treatment goals.

Her practice addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship struggles, sleep and eating difficulties, substance use, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other matters. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with attachment-informed and existential perspectives, and when appropriate introduces mindfulness, breathwork, grounding, and gentle movement to support regulation and awareness.

Kingston frames therapy as a paced, tailored process that honors each person’s comfort, autonomy, and readiness for change. Sessions focus on practical skills, relational repair, and helping clients build sustainable patterns that align with their values.

Clients seeking an empathic, experienced clinician who blends talk-based strategies with body-aware interventions may find her approach a good fit.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relational patterns shape emotions and relationship dynamics, which can be especially relevant for intimacy-related issues and longstanding trust concerns. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are integrated to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods so the work aligns with individual needs, values, and preferences. This shared process helps determine which combination of approaches feels most helpful over time.

Online sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from their own environments, fit sessions into varied schedules, and continue continuity of care across locations. The variety of options supports different communication styles and makes it easier to receive consistent, ongoing support from a licensed professional.
