About Ashley

Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She has six years of clinical experience and focuses on helping adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related concerns. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect, with the client’s priorities guiding each session.

She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Ashley uses a mix of therapy styles rather than a single method.

Background and approach

She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how past relationships shape present patterns. She also uses client-centered practices to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include conversations about coping skills, communication, and emotional regulation.

She may introduce mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, or simple behavioral experiments when helpful. The focus is on concrete steps people can try between meetings to notice change and build new habits. Therapy is provided online using options that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Pricing varies by location and depends on subscription choices that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. Ashley’s background includes training in addiction-focused counseling and national board certification prior to earning the LCPC.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and complex medical or chronic conditions.

Approaches that guide online care

Ashley combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to shape online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence current reactions and helps people notice patterns that show up in close connections. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace so the work feels guided by what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, brings practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to connect from different locations. The variety also allows someone to pick the format that feels most comfortable for sharing and practicing new skills between meetings.

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.

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.
