01About Ashley
Ashley Burns is a licensed clinician practicing in Montana who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, improve relationships, and build self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be worried or unsure.
She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what’s going on.
Background and approach
Conversations are handled without judgment and with practical direction. Sessions often include talking through recent struggles, identifying patterns, and trying small, doable changes between meetings. Ashley draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships.
She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence behavior and emotions. These approaches are used to address trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues tied to women’s experiences. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
She helps clients set clear goals and checks in on progress along the way. People who want to work on motivation, confidence, or family-related stress often find this practical focus useful. Therapy sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Ashley guides each client through a simple start-up process so they can find what fits their schedule and comfort level.

04Online support
How attachment and parts work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.Internal Family Systems explores the different parts of a person - for example the anxious part, the protective part, or the wounded part - and works to understand and calm those parts. This approach can be useful for managing trauma reactions, self-criticism, and conflict inside oneself, even when done through video or messaging.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether attachment-focused work, IFS, or a mix of techniques seems best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief updates, reflections between sessions, and ongoing support that fits into a busy schedule.
