Ashley Lawrence

Ashley Lawrence, LPCC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She practices a straightforward, supportive style and believes clients know the story of their lives best. Ashley frames therapy as a teamwork process where people build on existing strengths to face hard moments.

Ashley brings 17 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. She has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, major life transitions, parenting stresses, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Her background includes helping clients manage communication problems, codependency, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce.

In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach ways to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice what matters most to them. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is part of her work when trauma processing is needed.

Ashley aims for therapy that fits into everyday life. She talks through concrete skills for handling anger, improving relationships, and coping with loss or health challenges. Her style is direct but warm, focusing on doable steps and steady progress.

People who reach out can expect clear goals, homework that makes sense for daily life, and a plan adjusted to their needs. She welcomes conversations about parenting challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and other concerns people bring to therapy.

Approaches people use in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. The therapist helps people name their goals and supports them while they try different ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises people can use day to day to reduce symptoms and manage anger. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for strong mood swings and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process, so adjustments are made over time if something isn’t helping.

Please confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to work through grief, anger, trauma processing, and skills practice from wherever a person is located, with plans and homework that translate to everyday routines.
