About Ashley
Ashley Couch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves. She combines clinical therapy and mindfulness coaching to support clients through stress, anxiety, grief, and identity-related concerns. Her voice is direct and encouraging, aimed at people ready to try practical steps toward feeling better.
She brings seven years of clinical therapy experience and many more years supporting youth and adults in schools, community programs, and home settings. That range shaped a straightforward style that mixes talking, skill practice, and gentle challenges. Sessions emphasize self-compassion, strengths, and small, achievable changes.
Ashley uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among other approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of thinking, and strengthen important relationships. The work often includes mindfulness exercises and concrete strategies to manage mood and stress.
Her approach supports concerns such as codependency, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and body image issues, parenting stress, and career-related strain. She aims to create an adaptive plan that fits a person’s routines and values. Progress is framed as steady steps rather than overnight fixes.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, value-driven steps. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and codependency patterns.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides specific exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits for mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what feels useful and doable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are arranged through scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide how to use these benefits to match your routine and goals.
