01About Ashley
Ashley Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 22 years in the mental health field. She uses a straightforward, person-focused approach that centers each person's experience and goals. Ashley talks with clients in plain language and helps them work through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and changes in family life.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when patterns of thinking or behavior are getting in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused tools are woven in to help people find practical steps forward. Ashley has experience providing counseling in community settings, telehealth, and schools, and she was recognized as School Mental Health Counselor of the Year in 2021. That background informs how she supports parents, people dealing with family problems, and those facing traumatic stress.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. She works with clients to identify immediate concerns and set achievable goals. The focus can include coping skills for panic or anger, managing obsessive or impulsive behavior, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss or abuse.
Clients can expect direct feedback, tools they can use between sessions, and attention to practical changes that fit everyday life. Ashley aims to help people regain balance, move through grief or trauma, and create clearer ways to handle relationships and parenting challenges.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist centers the person's goals and supports them in finding their own solutions, which works well in conversation-based video or phone sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers exercises clients can practice between sessions, making it a good fit for video, phone, or text check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. This may mean combining listening-focused work with CBT or mindfulness exercises over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging helps maintain progress between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while working on stress, trauma recovery, family concerns, or daily coping skills.
