About Ashley
Ashley French is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and focuses on helping people reengage with their values and everyday life when stress or loss makes that hard. Her style is grounded and straightforward, aimed at people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and want practical direction.
She begins by listening to each person’s story and noticing patterns that get in the way of change. Sessions are a place to slow down, name what is happening, and try small steps that feel doable. Ashley offers clear feedback and gentle challenges so people can notice conditioned habits and make different choices.
Ashley draws on approaches that explore relationships, personal meaning, and present-moment skills. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, addiction struggles, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with major life shifts and with coping after natural or human-caused disaster.
Her work often focuses on attachment and on building awareness of how past experiences shape current reactions. That perspective is paired with practical skills from mindfulness and emotion regulation tools so clients have both insight and ways to act differently.
People who connect well with Ashley tend to want honest, compassionate guidance and a therapist who will name patterns and offer ways to practice change between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current ways of relating. In sessions this looks like mapping patterns and practicing new ways to connect and set boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities; it gives space for someone to be heard and for the therapist to reflect back what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance in daily life.Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or from a quieter spot. Some ways of working also let people focus on skill practice or shorter check-ins when that suits their routine.
