Ashley Curtis, LPCC

Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and on restoring a sense of control after difficult experiences. Her style is calm and direct, with an emphasis on clear goals and small, manageable changes.

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental space to talk through painful memories and current challenges. Sessions often include skills practice, problem solving, and time to reflect on how past patterns affect present choices. The work aims to strengthen coping skills for anxiety, improve communication around relationships, and address issues like body image and self-blame.

With eight years of clinical experience, Ashley draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take action, and attachment-based ideas to examine close relationships.

She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, dissociation, control issues, first responder stress, and grief after separation. The focus is on building practical strategies for coping and restoring a sense of agency.

Ashley works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. People who want straightforward, compassionate help with everyday stressors and deeper trauma-related issues may find her approach helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Ashley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can shorten the time it takes to see practical improvement. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values and commit to small changes even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and what feels useful in session. That planning is collaborative and reviewed over time so the work stays relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face interaction or choose audio when bandwidth is limited. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match the sessions to your routine and needs.
