About Ashley
Ashley Crockham, LCSW, creates a calm, supportive space for parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, grief, or changing life demands. She focuses on clear, practical steps that help people manage anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build skills for everyday life.
Ashley draws on four years as a social worker and prior experience in domestic violence and child protective services. That background shapes a practical approach to complex situations like grief, mood disorders, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
She listens for what’s most important to each person and adapts the plan to fit their goals. In early sessions she gathers history, clarifies concerns, and sets measurable goals together with the client. Progress is reviewed regularly and goals are adjusted as needed.
The work focuses on small changes that add up to better coping and clearer thinking. Ashley uses evidence-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and strengthen what already works. She also supports people through life transitions, postpartum challenges, and issues that affect self-esteem or sleep.
Sessions are practical and geared toward day-to-day improvements. People who choose her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and hands-on techniques to manage moods, anger, or addictive patterns. Her Louisiana practice includes video, phone, chat, and messaging options to fit busy schedules.

Evidence-based approaches for online parenting support
Ashley commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and replace them with more helpful behaviors. This approach is useful for worry, panic symptoms, and shifting habits that get in the way of daily functioning.She also uses solution-focused methods that zero in on small, practical changes. These brief, goal-oriented strategies help parents and individuals test new responses, improve communication, and manage immediate problems without waiting for long-term insight.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Ashley works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adapt the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and effective.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day.
These remote options make regular sessions easier to keep and allow therapists to support people across different locations and routines.
