Ashley Whitfield, LPC

Ashley Whitfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 11 years of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to take steps toward better day-to-day functioning and greater satisfaction. Ashley draws on her own life as a parent and partner to relate to the strains people face while juggling responsibilities and relationships.

She has worked in schools, clinics, and community agencies. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on clear goals and usable skills. Ashley helps people talk through stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions.

Her approach combines goal-focused work with empathy and real-world tools. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to suit different needs. Sessions tend to emphasize behavior changes, values clarification, and coping skills that fit daily life.

Ashley also addresses concerns like ADHD, relationship and family problems, codependency, dissociation, and issues around guilt and shame. She offers support for people navigating career decisions, self-esteem, and young adult questions. Her work includes attention to mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

If someone wants to start, they complete a brief questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Ashley aims to help people break down barriers and create more satisfying routines and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online care

Ashley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing behavior that lines up with personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills for coping with stress, mood issues, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for its ability to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make steady work on skills easier to maintain. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let people choose setups that reduce technical demands like camera use. Licensed professionals can tailor frequency and focus to match what each person needs.
