About Ashley
Ashley Kingston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She focuses on helping adults regain a sense of who they are and make changes that last. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Ashley brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and uses a collaborative, person-centered stance. She treats each person as the expert on their life and offers guidance, support, and practical tools. Her background includes work with mood and personality disorders, substance use, and self-harm concerns.
In session she blends attachment-based ideas with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. She also draws on existential perspectives and mindfulness practices to help people find meaning and build day-to-day skills for coping. Therapy often includes breathing, gentle movement, grounding, and other body-focused options when those fit the person’s needs.
Ashley provides online counseling and lists telehealth certification among her qualifications. She offers live audio and live chat sessions only. Sessions are scheduled within her stated availability and may be suited to people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
Her approach emphasizes safety, respect, and practical steps. Clients work at their own pace while learning tools to manage symptoms, rebuild trust in themselves, and navigate life changes, including concerns related to jealousy and relationship stress.

How these approaches translate to online work
The attachment-based approach focuses on how relationships and early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; online sessions use this lens to notice patterns in how people relate and to practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving the person space to set goals while the therapist offers empathy and reflection to help clarify next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and shifting the plan when something feels off or unhelpful.
Practical benefits of online counseling include easier scheduling around work or family commitments and shorter check-ins when a quick conversation helps. Ashley offers live audio and live chat sessions only, so people who prefer not to be on camera can still meet with a licensed professional. Confirm the session formats available before booking to make sure they match your needs and daily routine.
