Ashley Hackett, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Ashley

Ashley Hackett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on day-to-day struggles like managing strong emotions, coping with life changes, and handling parenting or family tensions. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at practical steps a person can try between sessions.

Ashley believes the client knows their own story best and brings that perspective into each session.

Background and approach

She works to strengthen what already helps the client and to build new skills for handling problems. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s comfort level. Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and practical solution-focused strategies.

That means conversations are grounded in understanding what matters to the client while also trying small, concrete changes that can reduce distress. Ashley has 18 years of professional experience in counseling and uses that background to tailor plans to each person’s needs.

She supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and other struggles that interfere with daily life. In sessions she offers straightforward feedback and teaches skills for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. The goal is to help clients move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and more confidence in handling life’s challenges.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and goals. This approach involves active listening and reflecting so sessions focus on what the client says matters most, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation because it breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That means the plan can shift if something isn’t helping or if different skills are needed over time.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities and allow regular check-ins or brief skill practice between meetings. The flexibility helps people stay engaged while trying out the strategies they discuss in sessions.

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.

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.
