About Ashley
Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience working in schools, clinics, and community agencies. She practices in Mississippi and brings both professional and personal perspective to difficult life moments. Ashley lists anger among the concerns she helps people with, alongside stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, and relationship issues.
She draws on Adlerian and behavioral ideas to look at how everyday patterns affect feelings and choices. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful habits, testing small changes, and building clearer ways to interact with others. Ashley also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer concrete skills for handling strong emotions.
Ashley speaks plainly in session and prioritizes practical steps. She asks about daily routines, roles, and values to find what is getting in the way. Together clients and Ashley map realistic actions that reduce reactive responses and improve communication.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, attention differences, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, and career or educational goals. Ashley notes experience with LGBT concerns and young adult issues as part of her practice.
Outside of work she is a wife and mother of three, and she often references family dynamics when useful to therapy. To start a first session clients follow the standard matching and scheduling steps on the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ashley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with anger that comes from frustration or meaning conflicts. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to spot patterns and practice new responses for stress, anxiety, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashley treats therapy as a collaboration and will help determine which methods match a client's goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn't helping and adjusts the plan together over time.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring examples from home into conversation. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to keep treatment practical and focused on everyday changes.
