About Ashley
Ashley Lawrence is an Ohio-licensed clinician with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people managing relationships, grief, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and big life changes. She speaks plain language and helps people think through next steps when life feels overwhelming.
Ashley centers the person in the room and treats clients as the experts in their own story. She looks for strengths to build on and works alongside people to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused and down-to-earth, with tools you can try between meetings. She draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, EMDR, and mindfulness. Those methods are used to reduce distress, improve communication, manage mood shifts, and process difficult memories.
Ashley tailors the mix to what the individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Over 17 years she has helped people cope with anger, low self-esteem, parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and relationship breakups. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, codependency, and commitment concerns.
Her practice aims to help clients find clearer choices and more manageable ways forward. Ashley works in English and accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the small step of reaching out and completing a short questionnaire to begin matching and scheduling sessions.

How therapy approaches work online
Ashley uses client-centered work to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their own solutions to parenting and life stresses.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior, and can be useful for depression, anxiety, and parenting-related stress. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication when feelings run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will discuss options and try methods that match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps determine whether to focus on skills-building, trauma processing, or a mix of approaches.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is low or a hands-free option is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when texting fits into a busy day.
