About Ashley

Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 11 years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Parents and adults often turn to her when life feels overwhelming or routines stop working.

Ashley draws on a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship strain.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step changes that fit day-to-day life. In session she listens first and asks direct questions to understand what matters to each person. Then she and the client decide on short-term steps and skills to try between meetings.

Expect straightforward talk, practical exercises, and regular check-ins on progress. Ashley has worked in schools, clinics, and community agencies, so she is familiar with many real-world pressures families face. She emphasizes building healthier routines and habits rather than relying on vague advice.

That practical focus helps people find relief and move toward more satisfying days. She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, dissociation, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges young adults face. Her work blends behavioral ideas with client-centered listening to create a plan that fits each person’s life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when parenting or life changes bring stress and emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily routines that interfere with parenting or work.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and build confidence to try new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what fits the person’s life and progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for back-and-forth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, get coaching-style reminders, or check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
