01About Ashley
Ashley Lawrence greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She frames the work around each person's story and strengths, and she aims to make the first step easier to take. Ashley is licensed as an LPCC, which reflects 17 years of professional experience in mental health care.
She helps people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. She also supports those trying to cope with major life changes, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem concerns, and mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical tools that can be used between meetings. She blends listening with skills-based work so people can see changes in day-to-day life.
Ashley draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client's goals. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot patterns that get in the way. For people affected by traumatic memories, she incorporates EMDR-informed steps and mindfulness practices to help reduce overwhelm.
People may choose her when they want clear guidance plus collaborative problem solving. She accepts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she works with clients in Ohio as well as international clients who use online formats.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ashley often uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in what the person wants to work on. This approach centers the client's priorities and encourages collaboration so each session stays relevant to real life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. CBT gives short, practical exercises people can try between meetings to notice change over time. When trauma is present, Ashley may use EMDR-informed steps alongside mindfulness techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories and to teach calming skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative decision making lets sessions adapt as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a steady connection with a licensed professional.
