About Ashley
Ashley Whitley is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, and people who are seeking clearer direction or renewed purpose in life. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting-related strain.
Her approach draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she helps people identify small, concrete steps that can shift daily patterns. Conversations often focus on practical coping strategies, clearer priorities, and ways to rebuild a sense of control after disruptions.
Ashley uses questions and structured exercises to help clients notice what is working and where change might be possible. She helps set short-term goals and checks progress in ways that fit a client’s routine. Topics like forgiveness, guilt and shame, and recovering from infidelity are addressed with direct conversational work and problem-solving.
She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and mood-related challenges such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and other mood disorders. For clients facing self-harm thoughts, addictions, or compassion fatigue, sessions focus on immediate coping and practical next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling details when they begin the intake process.
How Ashley applies CBT and Solution-Focused work online
Ashley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and anger.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to pinpoint strengths and build practical steps toward clearer goals. That approach centers on short-term goals, noticing exceptions to problems, and choosing small changes that can be tried between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will discuss goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods based on what the client wants to accomplish. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, short-term problem solving, or a mix of both.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time on workdays. It can also let clients use audio-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while managing everyday responsibilities.
