About Ashley
Ashley French is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) working in Kentucky. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people reconnect with their values and goals. Ashley frames pain as part of a full life and aims to guide clients back to themselves so they can make more mindful choices.
She pays attention to how people tell their stories and offers observations that can highlight patterned thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
That feedback is used to help clients see options and try different ways of responding. Sessions are practical and grounded, with attention to both feelings and everyday decisions. Ashley works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, bipolar issues, relationship struggles, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses family-related topics such as family of origin issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and adoption and foster care matters. Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centered perspectives, along with elements from dialectical behavior therapy, existential work, and Jungian ideas. These methods are blended to fit each person’s situation rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Ashley speaks English and accepts international clients. If you want to explore how therapy might fit your life, she asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Ashley integrates attachment-based work and client-centered methods to create a practical, relational approach. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current life and choices. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s priorities to support growth and clearer decision-making.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful to teach specific skills for managing strong emotions and building coping strategies. That approach can be useful for people facing intense stress, impulsive behaviors, or emotional ups and downs and offers concrete tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques to fit those needs. Clients often try a mix of methods to see what helps most and adjust over time.
Session format options are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - remote sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for part of a meeting. Licensed professionals can help you choose the combination of approach and session rhythm that fits your day-to-day routine.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
