Ashley Curtis, LPCC

Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and career challenges. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

She keeps the room compassionate and non-judgmental. Conversations look at real-life patterns like communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and body image worries. She helps people notice how attachment and past losses shape current relationships and reactions.

Ashley draws from several proven approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking. She applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small meaningful actions. She also incorporates Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen self-understanding and trust in relationships.

Her work is collaborative and straightforward. Clients and Ashley set goals together, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress regularly. Therapy often includes learning coping skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel intense.

Over eight years of clinical experience inform her work with concerns such as abandonment, dissociation, divorce and separation, first responder stress, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. People looking for down-to-earth support and clear next steps often find her approach practical and relatable.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT helps people spot and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or stress, and it often includes simple behavior experiments to try between sessions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps even when difficult emotions are present.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to deepen understanding of relationship patterns and to build a steadier sense of self. These approaches help when intimacy, trust, or past losses affect current relationships. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what they do together based on what works.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking since current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break. Different approaches also shape session activities - for example, CBT may include worksheets or brief homework, while ACT and attachment work may use guided conversations and reflection exercises that fit into remote sessions.
