About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing online from Montana. She has six years of counseling experience and focuses on helping adults manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Clients often seek her help for grief, trauma or abuse, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in addiction. Ashley uses a person-centered way of working that puts the client's experience first.
Background and approach
She combines practical tools with relational approaches so therapy fits each person's pace and needs. In sessions she blends evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas with attachment-based methods. This mix helps people learn new coping skills, notice unhelpful patterns, and repair how they relate to themselves and others.
She also draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning when life feels uncertain. Ashley offers several ways to connect, including phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She does not provide video sessions, choosing formats that can feel less pressured for some people.
Her work often includes simple practices like breathwork, grounding, and mindful awareness alongside talk-based interventions. The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes, with attention to safety and pacing based on each person's situation.

Approaches that guide online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current emotional reactions. It can help people understand recurring trust issues, fears of abandonment, or strong reactions in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for tackling anxiety, anger, low mood, and problematic coping habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful, then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust strategies over time if something does not fit or if needs change.
Online formats include phone calls, live chat, and text-based messaging. Phone calls can fit busy schedules or shorter check-ins. Live chat works well for people who prefer typing in the moment, and ongoing messaging supports reflection between sessions. These options make counseling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and emotional support.
