Ashley Brummett, LCSW - Therapist in Kentucky

About Ashley

Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of counseling experience and a longer background in social work. She draws on work across hospitals, hospice and palliative care, outpatient mental health, long-term care, child protection, and dialysis clinics.

Ashley brings a straightforward, warm style to sessions and focuses on practical steps that can help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. She emphasizes open and honest communication with no judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be compassionate and direct, with an effort to make small improvements over time. Ashley is willing to include Christian beliefs in therapy when a client wants that option, and she is equally comfortable when clients prefer not to include faith in sessions. In practice she helps with stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, depression, and coping with major life changes.

She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting topics, compassion fatigue, and a range of family-related problems and transitions. Her background in hospice, caregiving settings, and medical environments informs her work with chronic illness and end-of-life concerns. Ashley uses a mix of therapeutic tools to match each person’s needs.

She draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used in clear, everyday language so families can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions. She provides online support from Kentucky and conducts sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Ashley commonly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on what a client needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through concerns and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy when relationships or attachment issues are involved. This approach helps people notice emotional patterns between them and try different ways of connecting. Together with mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing, these approaches give practical strategies and emotional tools to apply between sessions.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with an assessment of needs and then adjust as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to attend sessions from home. Video calls let a therapist and client work face to face, phone sessions fit into busy schedules, and live chat or text messaging can help people stay connected between meetings. This range of formats is meant to make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life’s shifts.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
