01About Ashley
Ashley Craige uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and life transitions. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with ten years of experience. Ashley speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that people can use right away.
Ashley’s work centers on listening first. She sees each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal setting, skill practice, and real-world strategies for coping with strong emotions and difficult situations. She has worked in outpatient clinics, school-based programs, and residential settings. That background gave her experience helping with substance use concerns, family conflict, workplace stress, and grief.
Ashley has also provided training and supervision to other counselors. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs - whether it is changing unhelpful thinking, learning calming practices, or finding motivation to change behaviors.
Ashley aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She offers clear suggestions, short-term skills, and ongoing support as people practice new ways of coping. The focus is on practical progress one step at a time.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their own goals. Online sessions let the conversation stay person-led while building concrete next steps and strengths to use between sessions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks big problems into smaller parts by looking at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions, CBT work often includes simple exercises, thought records, and homework that fit into daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to calm the body and steady attention, which can be coached in session and practiced between meetings.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches and tools match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative choice can be adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter updates, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines.
