About Ashley

Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience who practices in Mississippi.

Background and approach

She draws on a varied background working in schools, clinics, and community agencies to support people navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, ADHD, grief, and other life transitions. Her practice emphasizes helping clients identify obstacles and develop healthier, more satisfying patterns across daily life and relationships.

Her style integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered principles, adapted to each person’s needs. Ashley approaches therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical strategies and values-driven goals, aiming to foster greater emotional balance, improved coping, and a clearer sense of purpose.

She also brings experience addressing codependency, communication difficulties, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. Clients who appreciate a thoughtful, goal-oriented clinician will find a practitioner who pairs clinical training with real-world experience and a commitment to promoting wellness.

Ashley encourages prospective clients to explore what changes feel most meaningful and to work together toward sustainable improvements.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that create a meaningful life while developing skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and current challenges, and then tailor methods so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative orientation helps refine the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely coaching between sessions, and access to licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
