01About Ashley
Ashley Farrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and problems with self-esteem. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear for people who are overwhelmed.
She uses a client-centered style that starts with listening closely to what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's situation, and plans are adjusted over time to match progress and goals. Ashley combines this with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice their feelings and reduce reactivity.
Solution-focused methods are used when short-term goals are needed, such as navigating a separation, managing acute stress, or addressing specific symptoms of social anxiety and phobia. Ashley also addresses grief, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to create a respectful space where practical steps and coping skills are emphasized alongside emotional work.
Sessions are meant to build confidence and self-compassion over time. People working with Ashley will find a steady, down-to-earth counselor who adjusts methods to fit each person. She frames therapy as a collaborative process to support growth, healing, and clearer choices going forward.

04Online support
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Ashley combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means conversations begin with the person's needs and values, and the therapist follows the person's pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces clear exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues.The choice of approach is treated as a collaboration. Ashley will help identify which methods fit best based on the person's goals, symptoms, and what feels comfortable. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about progress so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, skill practice between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
