About Ashley
Ashley Pierce is a licensed clinical social worker with three years of practice in Texas. She is an army veteran who now provides counseling to residents of Texas. She helps people facing trauma, substance use concerns, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.
She draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help clients manage strong emotions and painful memories. Sessions focus on building skills for coping, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with space for honest reflection. Ashley uses tools that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change reactions that cause stress. She helps clients identify values and take steps that match those values.
She also works on repairing patterns that make relationships harder and on setting clearer boundaries. Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching and narrative work that looks at personal stories and how they shape behavior. That might include learning breathing or grounding techniques, trying different ways to respond in heated moments, and rewriting unhelpful self-beliefs.
Ashley describes therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can take small steps toward clearer thinking and calmer reactions. She encourages gradual change and practical tools that fit daily life.

How these approaches guide online sessions
Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT often involves noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing behaviors that align with personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking that lead to upset and to practice alternative responses. CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying new behaviors between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will talk through goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills training, trauma processing, or storytelling work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats let people fit appointments around work, family, and other commitments while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
