About Ashley

Ashley Courmier is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress and anxiety. She approaches therapy with a straightforward, supportive style meant for people who want practical change. She emphasizes clients' own strengths and helps them find clearer paths forward.

Reaching out for help can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step easier and less overwhelming. Ashley uses simple, collaborative methods in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens closely and helps clients set small, achievable goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's perspective. Solution-Focused techniques are used to break problems into manageable steps and to build momentum toward change.

Sessions typically focus on everyday problems like worry, low mood, family tension, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. Ashley also addresses specific concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, body image, and workplace stress. Her work aims to increase coping skills and clearer communication rather than quick fixes.

Therapy is paced to match each person’s goals and comfort level. Ashley helps clients identify what matters most and supports steady progress. She encourages practical tools clients can use between sessions to reinforce growth.

With three years of professional experience, Ashley combines direct support with respect for each person's expertise in their own life. She keeps language plain and the focus on concrete steps toward healthier family and personal functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ashley commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working remotely. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also brings Solution-Focused Therapy into online sessions to set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that lead to change. Picking the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will check in about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules and to continue work when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of options supports steady progress and lets clients choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable to them.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
