About Ashley
Ashley Bashaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with eight years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and anger. Ashley also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain, and difficult life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients name problems and try small, practical steps. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors. Ashley brings techniques from cognitive-behavioral work and motivational interviewing into sessions to help with impulse control, motivation, and clearer decision making.
Ashley also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when addressing specific incidents or patterns that keep recurring. That can mean setting short-term goals, practicing new reactions, or learning quick grounding skills for times of high emotion. She avoids labels that get in the way of moving forward.
People who come for help with anger often want better communication, less escalation, or clearer boundaries. Ashley helps identify triggers, rehearse different responses, and build routines that reduce daily pressure. She guides clients toward small behavior changes that make tense moments easier to manage.
Her work includes help with parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career strain, grief, and control issues. She also has experience with domestic violence and narcissism-related dynamics and with attention-deficit hyperactivity concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Oklahoma.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Ashley uses evidence-based techniques in clear, practical ways. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. That helps with anger, anxious thinking, and repetitive reactions by teaching new ways to respond rather than react.Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses to increase readiness for change. It involves careful questions and reflective listening to identify personal reasons to try new behaviors. This method supports building momentum when someone feels stuck or ambivalent.
Finding the right mix of methods is often part of the first few sessions. She works collaboratively to figure out which techniques match the client’s goals and everyday life. Goals, preferences, and what works in practice guide adjustments over time.
