About Ashley

Ashley Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert in their own life while offering guidance for practical change and emotional healing. Her work includes supporting those coping with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, panic, self-harm, obsessions and compulsions, and related difficulties.

Based in South Carolina, Ashley has provided counseling in community settings, schools, and via telehealth over many years. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to address problems like impulsivity, anger, family conflict, blended family dynamics, abandonment wounds, domestic violence impacts, and fatherhood issues.

Her practice emphasizes helping clients regain perspective, build coping skills, and move toward their goals through collaborative care. Clients can expect a professional who values interpersonal connection and practical tools.

Ashley aims to help people heal inner child wounds, manage life transitions, and strengthen self-esteem while tailoring interventions to individual needs and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Methods for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes respect for the client's perspective and aims to create a collaborative space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values and healing. This approach can be especially helpful for people seeking a supportive, validation-focused relationship while working through personal goals and inner wounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, impulsivity, and many everyday coping challenges by teaching skills that clients can apply between sessions.

Mindfulness techniques help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress and difficult emotions. These practices can complement CBT and client-centered work by increasing emotional regulation and attention skills.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist collaborates with each person to select and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they determine which tools and strategies feel most useful and make changes as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person options aren’t practical.
